Supermarkets and other stores has been advised to stop selling the affected batches immediately, according to the health watchdog that issued the report.
Both Tesco and Asda previously sold bottles listed in the recall with Bells Healthcare taking precautionary action to any potentially impacted medicines at retail, pharmaceutical or wholesale level.
Patients have also been advised to be “vigilant” for any visible contamination and to contact a healthcare professional if they have any concerns.
Although the products have been produced by Bells Healthcare the 200ml bottles have various names at the different supermarkets.
Anyone who has nabbed a cough syrup in the past few years may want to take note as some of the bottles affected were first distributed as far back as September 2022.
Tesco‘s shoppers checking their medicine cabinet will want to look for the own brand Health Dry Cough Relief 200ml.
While those who picked up a syrup from Asda will want to check for their Strong Dry Tickly Cough 200ml.
Almus Dry Cough Relief and Bells Dual Action Dry Cough have also been listed in the precautionary recall.
All of the affected bottles contain dextromethorphan hydrobromide BP, an ingredient commonly used to suppress coughs and common colds.
Concern was raised by a single customer who identified the “contamination”.
