Reading news just now and saw this.
You may be busier than I am right now and may not read the DM but it might interest those GNers who buy the products or know someone who does.
No link as I'm using my mobile.

This was first news in October.

Doesn't apply to me but I was certainly unaware.
Thanks Gabriella

This is more detailed. The story did first break last month but I think that was only for some prescription only medicines, it’s now much wider. Useful to know for OTCs

I know but this is an updated article to include other outlets.
It does no harm to remind those who use the tablets. smile

I've just bought some of the affected tablets today! They're certainly still on the shelves in Home Bargains. ? Luckily, today I also heard that I can come off the medication that's causing indigestion, so that's timely.

Many thanks for the tip-off. I did know about it in general, as my local hospital is having problems getting indigestion meds for people prior to surgery, but I didn't know about this development.
