The odds of someone doing something to the bottle is low, but why would a chemist have opened a box and the bottle and then replaced it behind the counter?? In doing my bit to cover the rare possibility of the contents being tampered with (I remember the panadol poisoning that prompted all these tamper proof seals in the first place) I tried to contact the chemist (closed), spoke to their main line (don't use it, bring it back and we'll give you a new one), called the number on the nurofen box (office hours only), called poisons information (don't use it, given a number to ring the pharmacological advisory board Monday) and finally the police (don't use it, take it up with the chemist).
Which brings me to EB. Just a reminder to check that all the seals on both the box and bottle are intact before you use them. I damn well hope there isn't anyone around messing with medications, because it won't be for my lacking of trying that people become informed .
