Scandalous, but good that they’ve been found out and fined.

Is that Acord who make our Levo?

Yes - the same Accord. (The old Actavis UK became Accord-UK and is, I think, a subsidiary of Accord Healthcare - overall owned by Intas.)

Oh I didn’t see your post 😊 and thank you for confirming that it’s the same. They should be ashamed of themselves

[helvella Administrator in reply to PixieElv]

I rather suspect shame doesn't figure in the lives of some people.

And it took us 6 years to shake them out? Shocking! At £80m a year? Makes me want to cry
