There probably aren't many of you who use Mestinon Syrup, but, if you do, I wanted to make you aware of a problem with it.

The product that has expiration dates of 02/16 (Lot #8072560) and 04/16 (Lot #8073759) smells and tastes like celery flavored swamp water, with a hint of mold. Yum.

It's supposed to smell and taste like raspberry.

I've already contacted Valeant Pharmaceuticals and they'll be dealing with it. If not, I'll be contacting the FDA (might anyway).

I thought I'd better put this info out there, just in case anyone is taking it and haven't opened their bottles yet! If you have those expiration/lot numbers, contact both Valeant at 866-246-8245 and your pharmacy. They actually want people to open the bottles in order to get new product to replace them (and to make sure they have the same issue).

It's a good thing I keep a couple of extra bottles, just in case!
