Notes to Editor
4. The MHRA is the government agency responsible for ensuring that medicines
and medical devices work, and are acceptably safe. No product is risk-free.
Underpinning all our work lie robust and fact-based judgments to ensure that
the benefits to patients and the public justify the risks. We keep watch over
medicines and devices, and take any necessary action to protect the public
promptly if there is a problem. We encourage everyone –the public and
healthcare professionals as well as the industry – to tell us about any
problems with a medicine or medical device, so that we can investigate and
take any necessary action.
