In the UK, the government agency responsible for ensuring medicines and medical devices work and are acceptably safe is the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA). MHRA’s responsibilities include the licensing and approval of medicines, reclassification of medicines from prescription only (POM) to pharmacy (P) and the information provided on labelling and packaging.
