What Happens If There is a Faulty Medicine that Needs to be Recalled…

With a lot in the news at the moment about the possible side affects of some medicines we thought that for this week’s check in with Glasgow based Pharmacist Elizabeth Roddick we should talk about some of those potential side effects and what happens if a medicine needs to be recalled.

Elizabeth began by explaining to RNIB Connect Radio’s Toby Davey about the potential issues of the overdose of vitamin D in children. 

Then to what happens if there was a faulty product such as a supplement and how that is dealt with differently to what happens when there is a problem with a medicine.

To then looking at what happens when a medicine needs to be recalled and the Yellow Card System within the Pharmacy that informs the MHRA if there is a problem with a medicine.
