Failure in the patient information leaflet problems can potentially endanger countless patients who depend on medications for treatment.
In May 2025, the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) issued a critical Class 4 Medicines Notification concerning multiple topical steroid products manufactured by Chemidex Pharma Ltd.
