We would like to make patients aware of important medicine and medical device safety updates issued by the UK’s Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA).
The MHRA monitors the safety of medicines, vaccines, and medical devices across the UK. When new information becomes available about potential risks, side effects, product recalls, or changes in guidance, the MHRA issues safety alerts to healthcare professionals and the public.
These alerts may include information about:
- Medicines requiring additional monitoring
- New side effects or safety concerns
- Medical device recalls or faults
- Changes to prescribing guidance
- Advice for patients taking specific medications
We encourage patients to stay informed and to speak to a clinician or pharmacist if they have any concerns about their medicines or treatment.
You can view the latest MHRA safety alerts and drug safety updates here:

Please do not stop taking prescribed medication unless advised by a healthcare professional. If you are worried about a medicine, vaccine, or medical device, contact the practice for advice.
You can also report suspected side effects directly through the:
