This week is Learning Disability Week.

The theme this year is “do you see me?” which is all about people with learning disabilities being seen, heard and valued.

At Mistura Informatics, we believe that everyone should be entitled to read, understand and have easy access to medicine information, which is why we have our Easy Read leaflets!  Translated into multiple languages!

The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) has issued a medicines recall alert due to a packaging error where the foil blister inside the carton incorrectly states ‘Aspirin 300mg Dispersible Tablets’ instead of ‘Paracetamol 500mg Tablets’. The Boots Company PLC and the supplier, Aspar Pharmaceuticals Limited, have confirmed that the tablets in the blister packs are Paracetamol 500mg and not aspirin, and are conducting a full investigation into the issue.

Members of the public, including carers, should check if their pack has the batch number 241005, which can be found on the bottom of the box. If affected, they should stop using the product immediately and return it to a Boots store for a full refund, with or without receipt.
