Commenting on a recall of 100mg Sertraline Henry Gregg, Chief Executive of the National Pharmacy Association said:
"This has potentially serious consequences for patients and is deeply frustrating for pharmacies.
"Hard pressed pharmacy teams spend hours of their time contacting patients who have received these prescriptions as well as quarantining stock, time they could be spending delivering patient care instead.
"Pharmacies, who bear the brunt of any recall, should be reimbursed for the cost of these mistakes by the manufacturers who make them."
