This picture only has black writing on one side of the cap . Apparently this one is fake
I really dnt care I got them from the chemist so I’m sure they are fine just people trying to be fussy bastards
I don’t know if MHRA only covers England and Wales but there should be quality audits of all pharms and dodgy/fake stuff results in alerts being issued to every healthcare organisation, we get them at work quite regularly – they used to be sent by fax but they are currently sent to the matron/head nurses email and it would be pushing to boundaries of ethics to trigger a “compliance check” to see what is in there (it takes bloody ages too, and the app which processes the decryption key often also acts up).
I need to speak to the matrons anyway next week about a new internal comms system they have requested and if I remember will mention this to them, although I suspect all thats happened is the printing format has changed and the new datasheet hasn’t been properly communicated to the pharms or whatever NI’s authorities are for quality checking.
That’s weird that the fakes and the real ones look different as far as the punch outs are concerned.
Well that’s the problem are they fake, I’m not sure I was told they were but have no clue
Technical I have 3 different types here and there all different so the person who told me that was probably taking shit, I’ll try and upload better picture of all 3

Number three, Pfizer on one side of capap and P G N 100 on the other side of the cap
These all appear to be from legit companies that have a valid license at MHRA, Pfizers original patent is disputed in the UK and EU (it may since have expired altogether).
In 2015 pharmacists in North East England were advised that the generic variants may be prescribed for some conditions and MHRA were discussing the patent issues with Pfizer.
