UK medicines and medical device safety alerts published by the MHRA on GOV.UK: Class 1-4 medicines recalls with affected batch numbers, Field Safety Notices from device manufacturers, device safety information, and National Patient Safety Alerts. Answers “has this medicine or device been recalled in the UK”, “which batches were withdrawn”, and “what safety alerts were issued last month”. Returns each alert with its title, alert category, issue date, one-line summary and GOV.UK URL; filter by free text, category, issue-date range and clinical specialism.

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
`query`	string	no	Free-text search over alert titles and summaries, e.g. a medicine name (“fingolimod”), a manufacturer (“Zentiva”) or a device type (“infusion pump”).
`alert_type`	string	no	Restrict to one alert category. One of: ${Object.keys(ALERT_TYPES).join(’, ’)}.
`issued_from`	string	no	Earliest issue date, YYYY-MM-DD.
`issued_to`	string	no	Latest issue date, YYYY-MM-DD.
`specialism`	string	no	Clinical specialism slug the alert is tagged for, e.g. “pharmacy”, “dispensing-gp-practices”, “medical-devices”.
`sort`	string	no	”newest_issued” (default) orders by the date MHRA issued the alert; “newest_published” orders by when the GOV.UK page went live. They differ — a weekly notice issued on the 31st can publish on the 9th of the next month.
`limit`	number	no	Alerts to return, 1-100 (default 20).
`offset`	number	no	Results to skip, for paging (default 0).
