Pharmaceutical.
With over 20,000 different medicines available in the UK the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) working closely with the European regulator, the European Medicines Agency (EMA), makes sure the medicines we all use are safe. The MHRA and the drug manufacturers continue to monitor them for any unforeseen problems. Should an issue develop, or the safety of a medication come into question, the agency has the power to suspend production and withdraw and recall a product from the market.
A number of factors can cause a drug to be recalled. A recall may be issued if a medicine is:
- A health hazard. Unfortunately, some health risks associated with certain medications are not realised until after they become widely used Mislabelled or packaged poorly. Sometimes a medicine is recalled because of confusing dosing instructions or a problem with the dosing tool provided with the drug.
- Potentially contaminated. During production or distribution, a medicine may become contaminated with a harmful or non-harmful substance. Not what says, eg it may state the product is a pain reliever based on the package material, when in fact what is inside the box is something else.
- Poorly manufactured. Manufacturing defects related to a product’s quality, purity and potency may be to blame for a drug recall. With this in mind the Pharmaceutical industry is under increasing regulatory scrutiny and must have clear action plans and the support of a recall partner that helps manufacturers create a clear plan for handling pharmaceutical product recalls, retrievals, and returns. Establishing the most appropriate strategy is a crucial first step in successful planning and execution of any Pharmaceutical recall.
We recognise that each Pharmaceutical recall is a unique situation, clearly there are a number of common elements to all recalls that need to be considered in the creation and tailoring of an appropriate recall strategy. These include the class classification and nature of the deficiency in the product, the incidence of complaints, public safety, distribution networks, recovery procedures, resources for corrective action and availability of alternative products.
Class 1 requires immediate recall because the product poses a serious or life-threatening risk to health.
Class 2 specifies a recall within 48 hours because the defect could harm the patient but is not life-threatening.
Class 3 requires action to be taken within five days because the defect is unlikely to harm patients and is being carried out for reasons other than patient safety.
Class 4 advises caution to be exercised when using the product but indicates the product poses no threat to patient safety.
Most recalls fall into classes two or three GO Inspire Recall’s processes allow for secure storage and returns of any recalled product and the ability to assist our clients in the complete recall lifecycle requirements ensuring compliance with all stringent regulatory requirements processing infrastructure.

Prescription Medicine Recalls
Prescription medicine recalls continue to occur despite rigorous stringent new drug approval process and clinical testing recalls still occur and when they do you need the support and fire power of a large skilled organisation to rapidly sort and solve the problem. Here at GO Inspire Recall we are able to expertly deal with a pharmaceutical recall or product withdrawal of any size, satisfying regulatory guidelines through to managing the seamless notification and response, product retrieval, storage and ultimate product disposal.
Over The Counter Medicine Recalls
The wide distribution and use of these products can complicate the logistics of their recall and removal and at times it can seem a daunting task to notify consumers and medicine users of a recall. Effective recall management requires a working partnership and access to their pharmaceutical distribution lists in order to reach the extensive networks of patients, pharmacies, retailers, and medicine providers. Experience tells us that many manufacturers have gaps in their distribution networks, which can delay their recall response. The GO Inspire Recall team can assist you in all steps of the process to make this as painless as possible and activate teams to accelerate removal of affected product out in the field combining great planning, implementation and execution skills to get the job done efficiently whilst containing costs. Our recall data management system enhances visibility, monitoring, reporting and tracking during each step of the recall cycle.
Medical Devices.
The Government operates the Medicines & Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) which oversees all regulatory functions for medicines and medical devices. Not only does the MHRA have to oversee legitimate medical devices but the advent of the internet has made available a source of illegally marketed medicines and medical devices, such as diagnostic wearable devices, blood pressure monitors, glucose meters, and cholesterol checking kits, the quality and safety of which is generally unknown.
The MHRA has been very active in tracking down this increasingly lucrative and growing market in illegal products and has seized consignments and prosecuted manufacturers and importers. However responsible medical device manufacturers have seen an increase in the levels of medical device recalls. Product recalls can be costly and damaging for many highly regulated industries, but are especially challenging for the medical device industry as the products pose significant risks for patients and their health. At these times a rapid call to action is required.
Here at GO Inspire Recall we can assist in the creation of robust strategies working closely with manufacturers to safeguard patients and device users. These strategies ensure a rapid deployment of notification communications, track and trace of devices as well as removal, repair, replacement and disposition if required. We always protect our clients’ interests to ensure costs are contained, codes of conduct, compliance and regulations are adhered to and there is minimal impact to brand perception, public image and relations.
GO Inspire Recall customer service teams are at the forefront of dealing with patients and end users and work tirelessly to reduce risk, protect patient lives, communicate sympathetically, and effectively manage the recall and prompt withdrawal of the devices. At all times we report and update our clients so they can monitor the recall process and where applicable the re-supply of quality replacement devices or corrective action.
