A safety recall has been issued for a batch of the antidepressant sertraline after a packaging error led to a different medication being placed inside sealed cartons, UK regulators have said.
The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) confirmed on 28 April 2026 that one batch of sertraline 100mg tablets is being recalled after a patient reported finding a blister strip of citalopram 40mg inside the packaging. The issue has prompted guidance to healthcare providers to stop supplying the affected batch and return remaining stock.
