Botswana Medicines Regulatory Authority — April 2024

What this register recorded from BOMRA in April 2024, what other African authorities published in the same month that bears on it, and what we could not read in BOMRA’s own notices. Every figure here is a count of published regulatory actions. None of it is a finding about Botswana Medicines Regulatory Authority.

What BOMRA published

1 action(s) recorded: 1 recall.

Reference	Date	Country	Product	Batches	Action	Class	Source
DEA-BW-2024-93841841	16 Apr 2024	BW	Benylin Paediatric 100mls Cough Syrup Johnson & Johnson (Pty) Ltd	329304 · 329303	Recall	Unclassified	Tier 1 · Regulator-published

What other authorities published

Nothing published elsewhere this month joins to BOMRA by either of the two links this register will draw — a shared event, or a manufacturer BOMRA has itself named. That is a statement about those two links and not about the month.

BOMRA and the WHO alert

Where an event carries a WHO alert date, how BOMRA’s own action sits against it. Computed only where both dates are known to a day: a record we hold to the month is reported as not computable, never as a delay of zero.

Benylin Paediatric Syrup — diethylene glycol — lag not computable from the dates we hold (DEA-BW-2024-93841841)

What we could not read in BOMRA’s notices

Our failures on BOMRA’s coverage, across the whole register rather than this month. Published because a report that told an authority only what it was missing would be an audit sent by someone with no standing to conduct one.

14 record(s) held from BOMRA in total
0 carry no publication date we could read
10 name neither a batch nor a stated reason
13 name no manufacturer
10 are searchable and API-available but carry noindex, because they are too incomplete for a public URL
0 have no archived copy of the original notice

Each of these is something BOMRA published and this register did not capture, or captured incompletely. None of them is a failure by BOMRA.

Correcting this

Anything on this page that is wrong about Botswana Medicines Regulatory Authority can be corrected by Botswana Medicines Regulatory Authority, and a record published by one of its officers carries verification tier 0 — the rank only the issuing regulator can create. Nothing else on this register does.

Write to notices@drugeyeafrica.org. Corrections to existing records are logged and published on the corrections page; a superseded record keeps its URL and points forward to the one that replaced it.
