Limits and Safety

RecallRx helps you find published recall notices. It cannot tell you whether a medicine is safe for you, whether your package is affected, or what treatment decision you should make.

If You Find a Matching Notice​

Open the official source and compare the product name, strength, package, product code, and lot number carefully. A similar name alone does not show that your medicine is affected.

Do not start, stop, or change a medicine based only on a RecallRx result. Ask a pharmacist or doctor if you need help interpreting a notice or deciding what to do.

If You Find No Match​

An empty search means that RecallRx found no matching notice in the data it has indexed. It does not mean that the medicine:

  • is safe or suitable for use;
  • has never been recalled;
  • is unaffected in every country or lot; or
  • has been checked by RecallRx.

Check that you selected the correct country and removed unnecessary date filters. Then consult the relevant medicines authority if you need a definitive answer.

Why the Official Source Matters​

RecallRx copies useful details from public notices so they can be searched. Source pages can change, and some notices do not provide every detail in a consistent format. A result marked Revisar, or one with missing fields, needs particular care.

Every result links to the official page and, when available, the original PDF. Those sources take precedence over the text shown in RecallRx.
