Rafa Co., the manufacturer and marketer of Rafassal 500 mg caplets, announces, in coordination with the Ministry of Health, the recall for 3 batches of the product:
Rafassal 500 mg caplets, over concerns due to changes to the rate in which the product’s coating dissolves.
Batches in question:
Batch number Manufacturing date Expiration date

• 122427 01.05.2024 31.05.2027
• 122726 26.08.2024 31.08.2027
• 122727 26.08.2024 31.08.2027

It should be noted that users face no health risk taking these caplets, and therefore, in order to maintain the therapeutic continuity, you may continue taking this preparation until you receive a new package from a different batch.

The preparation is intended for the treatment and prevention of ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease. The caplets are coated with a coating that does not dissolve in the stomach, but rather in the intestine, releasing the active ingredient in the inflamed area.
Patients in possession of a package of the preparation from this batch are urged to go to the pharmacy in which the preparation was purchased, return the old package, and replace it with a new package, or alternately to receive a refund from the pharmacy, according to what was already paid in actuality. Replacements and refunds will also be issued for a partial package (a package missing a few caplets already taken).

We apologize for the inconvenience.

Kind regards,

Rafa Labs Ltd.
