A pharmacy in Quebec City,
Canada is making headlines after
accidentally giving quetiapine
tablets to children who visited the
store while “trick or treating” for
Halloween.
According to a police spokesman,
seven individually wrapped pills
somehow found their way into
a bowl of lollies, after a woman
dropped her 17-year-old son’s
medicine by mistake as she was
leaving the pharmacy.
Another customer saw the tablets
on the floor and put them on the
counter next to the candy basket,
and then an employee mistakenly
mixed the plastic bags of bipolar
medication with the sweets.
It’s not clear whether the children
actually took the pills.The above article was sent to subscribers in Pharmacy Daily's issue from 04 Nov 15 To see the full newsletter, see the embedded issue below or CLICK HERE to download Pharmacy Daily from 04 Nov 15
