Health Canada flags Pendopharm's Secaris Nasal Gel lot over possible foreign matter

🇨🇦 Health Canada · Fri 13 Nov 2026

A single lot of Secaris Nasal Gel, sold nationally in Canada, is subject to a Type II recall after the company found it may contain foreign matter.

Health Canada published a recall notice on 13 November 2026 for one lot of Secaris Nasal Gel, a product marketed by Pendopharm, a division of Pharmascience Inc. The agency says the affected lot may contain foreign matter and classifies the issue as contamination.

The recall covers lot 26A35A of the gel, which carries DIN 00551805. The product contains macrogol 15% w/w and propylene glycol 20% w/w. Distribution was national, and the recall reaches retail level.

Health Canada has classed the action as Type II. In general, this class is used where use of or exposure to the product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse effects, or where the likelihood of serious harm is remote. The notice is listed under identification number RA-82939.

The agency tells consumers to check whether their product is affected. It advises them to consult a healthcare provider before they stop using it, or if they have any health concerns. Those with questions can contact the recalling firm, and side effects or other safety complaints should be reported to Health Canada. The notice does not describe the nature of the foreign matter, how it was detected or whether any adverse events have been reported.

What it means for your team

  • Quality teams should note that only one lot (26A35A) is named, and that the recall depth is at retailer level.
  • Canadian distributors and pharmacies holding Secaris Nasal Gel should check lot numbers against the notice.
  • Pharmacovigilance teams may wish to monitor for any product-quality complaints or adverse event reports linked to this lot, as the notice gives no detail on the foreign matter or on any reported events.
