Overview

RecallRx is a live search app for medicine recalls indexed from official public sources. Start with the app, then use these docs when you need to understand the results or maintain the dataset.

Open the live recall search app

The active sources are Spain/AEMPS, Portugal/INFARMED, and France/ANSM. The app and data model are country-aware, so additional authorities can be added without changing how users search.

For Users​

  • Search by medicine name, product code, lot, alert id, year, or date range.
  • Switch countries from the app header.
  • Open official source pages and PDFs from every result when available.
  • Treat warnings as a prompt to verify the original record.

RecallRx is an index. It does not replace advice from health authorities, clinicians, pharmacists, or official product notices.

For Developers​

  • Python collectors for official country authority pages.
  • HTML-first parsing with transient PDF fallback when required fields are missing.
  • Country-aware normalized recall schema.
  • Static JSON output for GitHub Pages.
  • Static browser app over medicine name, product code, lot, recall id, reason, and dates.
  • Manual GitHub Actions for tests and daily documentation/data builds.

Non-goals​

  • Safety certification or product safety claims.
  • User accounts, authentication, or an admin panel.
  • Server-side APIs or hosted databases.
  • Safety scoring, product recommendations, or user-submitted medical advice.

Trust model​

RecallRx indexes official records. Every result must link back to the original source page and PDF when available. A missing result only means no matching record was found in the indexed dataset.
