It is slightly disconcerting to hear that people may take Seroquel tablets which have found their way into packets of Neurofen Plus; the tablets come in their own blister strips, stamped all over with the name, they have not been inserted into blister strips marked Neurofen.
Really this just goes to show how easy it is to make such a mistake.
First, you see what you expect to see. If you bought Neurofen & it says Neurofen on the box, then it must be Neurofen.
Secondly, even if you do notice you may merely assume that Seroquel is just the fancy scientific name.
And thirdly, you simply may not be able to see the writing clearly – especially on a shiny metallic background. Something which may affect the elderly in particular.
It is even more disconcerting to be told that, for a normal healthy person, taking a dose (or two) of Seroquel by mistake will do nothing worse than make you a bit drowsy.
Makes you wonder how on earth it does the job it is supposed to do in people whose illness requires it.
