Product Recall Notifications:
Where a defect of a medicinal product is considered to be a risk to
public health, the Medicines Authority issues a product recall and
the marketing authorisation holder withdraws the affected product
from the market.
During 2010, the Medicines Authority issued nine product recalls.
All pharmacists can apply for SMS notifications for Product Recalls
through the
Notifications
Form.
Medicines Authority
Circular Notifications:
The Medicines Authority
issues circulars which include
scientific information and recommendations on product administration
methods. The circulars are an important means of communication
between the Medicines Authority and medical practitioners, dentists,
pharmacists and health care professionals as these detail changes on
safety and risks of medicinal products. To apply
for sms notifications
for circulars, please click on the
Notifications Form.
This service is another
step in becoming a more effective and supportive regulator whose
mission is the protection of
public health in Malta through the regulation of medicinal products
and pharmaceutical activities.
Through the sms notifications, users will recieve non-promotional
material on the safety, quality and efficacy of medicinal products.
The service is being provided
in collaboration with the
Malta Information Technology Agency (MITA) through the Mobile
Government Shared Service.
