The MHRA will review the product if necessary, and take action to minimise risk and maximise benefit to the patients. *The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) is an executive Agency of the Department of Health and Social Care; the MHRA protects and promotes public health and patient safety by ensuring that medicines, healthcare products and medical equipment are used safely and meet appropriate standards of safety, quality, performance and effectiveness.
