Title: Foreign brand femoston 2/10
Post by: walking the dog on March 22, 2014, 09:04:04 AM

Hi

I opened a new 3 month pack of femoston 2/10 this morning and thought I had lost the plot as the days made no sense! On further inspection I realised that it was not  English but was I presume to be Greek? All the days of the week are written in it, I know this doesn't really matter but I wondered if this was OK for pharmacists to do? Also I am assuming correctly I hope that it is the same medication?

Thanks

W t Dog xx

I would go back and talk to the pharmacist they may not know they have received this delivery!

I experienced this - I think its Dutch or Netherlands - I received these from Sainsburys pharmacy.  I didn't go back but did wonder at the time whether the NHS encountered some rogue tablets!  Or maybe the larger supermarket pharmacies can get them cheaper?  It may be worth going back to the pharmacy just to inquire.
