observer Posted August 27, 2011 Report Share Posted August 27, 2011 The suspicion that someone has been tampering with Nurofen tablets, is yet another headache for us - seems we just can't trust "the system" anymore - check your tablets Geoff!

inky pete Posted August 27, 2011 Report Share Posted August 27, 2011 seems we just can't trust "the system" anymore - check your tablets Geoff! When could we? No "system" can prevent everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted August 27, 2011 Report Share Posted August 27, 2011 Were the wrong tablets actually inside the nurofen blister packs or were they in their correct blister packs with the correct name on but inside Nurofen plus boxes. Did anyone apart from me understand that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverlady54 Posted August 27, 2011 Report Share Posted August 27, 2011 Yes Dizzy! i believe the rogue tablets were in their own blister packs but in the Nurofen boxes. Should be easy to spot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted August 27, 2011 Report Share Posted August 27, 2011 Thanks SL I must admit that whenever I used to take any sort of tablet eg paracetamol, cold relief or even prescription ones I never actually bothered reading the text on the blister packs. I suppose if they had the word Viagra or something obvious on them I would have noticed but not a word I had never heard of. If I had noticed I would have just presumed it was an alternative name as most medicines have more than one name. I'd just like to add that we don't have Viagra in our medicine cabinet by the way although maybe I could put some in the paracetamol box and see what happens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted August 27, 2011 Report Share Posted August 27, 2011 You'd probably end up having an incredible urge for sex but it'd be a waste of time because you really would have a headache. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted August 27, 2011 Report Share Posted August 27, 2011 I presume you are meaning my other half (or my son ) Bill as it wouldn't work on me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter T Posted August 27, 2011 Report Share Posted August 27, 2011 No but the headache would. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted August 27, 2011 Report Share Posted August 27, 2011 I don't get many normal headaches as such since I was told NOT to take any paracetamol or other medicines. How weird am I as the things that are supposed to relieve headaches etc apparently actually give me them Trust me to be one of the awkward brigade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoffrey Settle Posted August 29, 2011 Report Share Posted August 29, 2011 My back has gone into spasm this morning so I've no option but to take my Nurofen tablets.....fortunatley they are an old trustee pack that I bought when my back kicked off the other month...... but if I start having any unusual side effects I will let you know if of course I can at that stage.
