Pharmacy accidentally gave kids bipolar pills instead of candy

New York Post – by Sophia Rosenbaum

A worker at a Canadian pharmacy accidentally gave out out bipolar medication to trick-or-treaters instead of candy, according to a report.

The mix-up unfolded after a woman unknowingly dropped her 17-year-old son’s prescription drugs while on her way out of a Beauport pharmacy.  

Another customer picked up the medication — Quetiapine and Divalproex sodium, both of which are used to treat schizophrenia as well as other psychological disorders — and placed it dangerously close to the candy basket on the counter.

“So – unfortunately – we don’t know how – an employee just mixed it with the candy by accident and distributed it to the kids,” a Quebec City police spokesperson told the Daily Star.

Seven individually wrapped pills were dropped into candy baskets throughout the night.

Police assured parents that the medications were not dangerous — despite side effects that include suicidal thoughts, tremors and nausea.

  1. With the way they script that shite, how did they EVER notice?!

    They’ll do anything for a new client base, won’t they?

  2. Individually wrapped pills?!?!?
    Who wrapped the pills for individual administration, from the bottles of pills that were dropped?
    Nothing to see here folks, go home to your TVs and meds, and leave the thinking to your friendly omnipotent government.
