What to do now

Check your Jurnista packaging to see if you have any tablets from batch number IALS400. If so, check the blister packs and tablets for any signs of damage (do not remove tablets from the packaging unless they are going to be consumed straight away). If the blister pack or tablets are damaged do not consume them. Return the entire Jurnista box to your dispensing pharmacy to discuss replacement options. In the likely event that the blister pack and tablets are not damaged, you should continue to take the medication as prescribed by your doctor. If you have any questions or concerns about this issue, talk to your doctor or pharmacist.
