[QUOTE="donnellysdogs, post: 357304, member: 17713"] They log and monitor and measure the safety of drugs and medical equipment. If a patient tells a gp they have side effects to a drug, the gp should report it.. But many don't unless the patient requests them to. Patients with side effects can log on to the website and report details of their side effects for drugs and medical equipment... The MHRA also send out details of warnings / recalls to chemists, gps etc. The MHRA do not automatically contact each individual ref their side effects, they are not advisers to the public whether they should or should not take drugs. Their purpose I suppose is to monitor the data and safety of all drugs and medical equipment in the UK. They have a lot of detail on their website for everybody taking medicines or using any medically issued equipment. [/QUOTE]
