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.

“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.”
