CeremonyNewOrder Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 How do I know I have the tainted batch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quiet storm Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 (edited) How do I know I have the tainted batch? There's nothing wrong with the effexor itself if I'm reading this right. The problem is an entirely different medication pill might end up in the same bottle. If you have a pill(s) that dont look like the other effexor pills, dont take it. The effexor pill is red. This other pill is peach. Edited March 7, 2014 by quiet storm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chimako Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Yeah, the consumerist article shows the two capsules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
