The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) is the government agency which is 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 judgements to ensure that the benefits to patients and the public justify the risks.

We keep watch over medicines and devices, and we take any necessary action to protect the public promptly if there is a problem. 

We aim to make as much information as possible publicly available.

We enable greater access to products, and the timely introduction of innovative treatments and technologies that benefit patients and the public.
