BRITS taking a common blood pressure medicine have been urged to check their medicine boxes over fears they could lead to overdose.
Brits taking Lercanidipine are being urged to check their medicine boxes after a labelling blunder meant some packs contain double the dose.
A batch of 20mg tablets was wrongly labelled as 10mg on some sides of the box.
Patients should make sure the dose on the box matches the one on the foil pack and “should contact their pharmacist or GP immediately” if there’s a mismatch, the health watchdog has said.
