Investigations are under way into how some packets of Nurofen Plus came to contain antipsychotic drugs.

The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) issued a safety alert after three packs were found to contain Seroquel XL 50mg.

    Thank you, starburst, for this information: I don't take them but maybe some on here do so I've bumped this back to the top. DD

    I think they have recalled all nurofen plus packets now. I heard yesterday that there is a possibility of sabotage??

    Hi,
    Thanks for posting this.....I dont use it but others may.
    I believe it was sabotage.......I vaguely heard something about physcotic tablets and epilepsy tablets mixed in with them but think they have all been recalled now

    Love
