MHRA enforcement and safety tracker

Last reviewed: 2026-08-11

The MHRA published 24 items in the 90 days to 2026-08-11, of which 2 relate to weight-loss medicines or peptides, 3 concern enforcement against illegal or unlicensed supply, and 4 are formal Drug Safety Updates. This page restates what the regulator published and links to each gov.uk original. It is a reporting record, not advice. If a medicine you take appears in a Drug Safety Update, the item itself tells you what the MHRA asks patients and prescribers to do, and your prescriber or pharmacist is the person to speak to.

How to read this tracker
“A rolling window is honest but it is not history. Items drop off this page after ninety days, so an absence here means the MHRA has not published on it recently, not that nothing has ever been published. Read the enforcement rows as evidence that illegal supply is actively prosecuted in the UK, and read a quiet period as ordinary rather than as reassurance about any particular seller.”

Methodology

  • Source: the gov.uk MHRA news and communications feed plus the MHRA Drug Safety Update feed, fetched on a schedule by a script in this repository. No item is written by hand.
  • Window: a rolling 90 days. Older items leave the table when they fall outside it.
  • Type: an item is a Drug Safety Update if it came from that feed. Otherwise it is classified as Enforcement when its title or summary refers to prosecution, sentencing, illegal or unlicensed supply, falsified or counterfeit product, seizure, or a formal warning. Everything else is an Announcement.
  • Relevance: an item is flagged relevant when the fetch matched it to a compound we track, or when its title or summary names a GLP-1 medicine, a weight-loss or obesity medicine, or a peptide.
  • Classification is by keyword and is deliberately generous. Read the linked gov.uk original before relying on any row, and treat our label as a signpost rather than a legal characterisation.
