⚠️ Medicines recall: Sertraline 100mg Film-Coated Tablets (Amarox Limited)
One batch of Sertraline 100mg film-coated tablets is being recalled as a precaution after a manufacturing error.
This follows a patient complaint which identified that a pack of Sertraline 100mg tablets (Batch V2500425) incorrectly contained blister strips of Citalopram 40mg film-coated tablets inside the sealed carton.
If you take Sertraline 100mg, check the packaging of your medicine for batch number V2500425. If your pack contains blister strips labelled "Citalopram 40mg", contact your pharmacy as soon as possible.
Both sertraline and citalopram are antidepressants from the same medicine family (SSRIs). Patients who have accidentally taken citalopram instead of - or as well as - sertraline may experience some heightened side effects, including nausea, headache, sleep changes, and mild anxiety.
If you have concerns about your medication or experience any suspected side effects, speak to your pharmacist or another healthcare professional. Patients and healthcare professionals can also report suspected side effects via our Yellow Card scheme.
