In the UK, Aspen Pharma issues an urgent recall for Mercaptopurine 50mg tablets due to contamination fears.
The culprit? A fungus called Penicillium Kongii discovered in batch P0010384, distributed earlier this year.
Patients and healthcare professionals should check tablet color—discoloured means trouble.
The precautionary recall is vital for safety, and stopping medication abruptly is unwise—consult your doctor first.
Always report adverse reactions through the MHRA Yellow Card scheme. Stay safe, informed, and wary of contaminated meds!
