If You Know Someone Taking Antidepressant
Sertraline 100mg
today (28 April 2026), the UK Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA)
has highlighted a precautionary recall of
Amarox Limited
Batch V2500425
(...as there has been a manufacturing error where that one batch contains
"one blister strip of Citalopram 40mg film-coated tablets inside the sealed carton").
The notice includes guidance comments for patients by Dr Alison Cave, MHRA Chief Safety Officer:
