Nurofen Warning - please read

    Note: The Seroquel tablets are larger and have gold and black packaging, compared with the Nurofen Plus tablets which are smaller and have silver and black packaging.

    To me, if you open Nurofen and find something Gold/black with Seroquel written on it, I wouldn't pill-pop. Maybe those who would need Seroquel anyway...

    Thanks for clarifying that, though someone buying for the first time might not realise what the foil is meant to look like for example.

    I think that it is REALLY scary how such a mix up could happen. Sabotage or not - you would think that there would be systems in place to double and triple check the product to prevent such an occurrence.

    Wow, nearly a whole day for the self appointed forum police to get here. Is that a record?

    Have seen a few other threads spring up on the nurofen issue and they have maybe a few hundred views each, while this has over 2000. Apologies if it offends your sensibilities but i thought that this was the easiest way to get a larger viewing audience on a potentially dangerous drugs issue.

    And i'd do it again should the need arise!
