Here's the link to the MHRA, which is recommending that people do not stop taking their medication without first talking to their doctor or pharmacist

Another bit of media sensationalism. If you read the report no evidence of harm to people taking these drugs from that company

Despite the tablets containing a high explosive (microscopic amount) no tablet or patient has exploded! 💊💣💥

Prescribed drugs that are meant to help, actually doing harm! I'm not surprised one bit, just an old cynic when it comes to taking any prescribed medication. I have to be well and truly cornered before agreeing to take them.

[gilreid1 in reply to jeanjeannie50]

Can I ask where it says these drugs are doing harm ? 🤔

[jeanjeannie50 in reply to gilreid1]

In the link in the post at the top of this page

[gilreid1 in reply to jeanjeannie50]

From the article? Still can’t find where it states harmful to patients?

But the MHRA insisted the measure was merely a precaution and there was no proof it has caused any harm to patients.

Are you looking at the Daily Mail link?

[jeanjeannie50 in reply to gilreid1]

They contain a cancer causing drug!

[gilreid1 in reply to jeanjeannie50]

Yes

[gilreid1 in reply to jeanjeannie50]

The wording states MAY contain. Now if I have a drink of tap water it MAY contain chemicals. So do I die of thirst

[Milkfairy Heart Star in reply to jeanjeannie50]

I am not sure the Daily Mail is a reliable source of information.

The report was issued in March This what the MHRA is advising.

'If you receive queries about this issue from patients, advise them to continue taking their medication as the health risk of discontinuing the medicine is higher than the potential risk presented by the contaminant. A treatment review is not necessary until the next routine appointment.'

Maybe how I read and interpret words different from yourself. Please read the article if this was founded it would not be a small segment of a tabloid. It would be headline news word wide. Get real

[Wooodsie]

Thank you for sharing Flissy100, but a bit uber-sensationalist 🤷‍♂️

[MDR1]

This article is in The Mail---!!! No need to say more

[Qualipop]

The media again. There has been slight contamination of a couple of brands that's all. They have been withdrawn for testing.

BANG!
