Safety professional Nick Hunt has written to the Health Secretary to raise his deep concerns about the MHRA, which consistently misses safety signals from dangerous medicines.
The EU is investigating reports of suicidal thoughts associated with weight loss drugs Ozempic and Saxenda. This is not a surprise as all previous weight loss drugs have been withdrawn due to harms.
Product safety expert Nick Hunt suggests two simple changes MHRA should make if it actually wants to make sure the medicines it approves for release to the public are safe.
The MHRA was so flooded with Yellow Card adverse event reports for Covid vaccines that its statistical analysis was skewed and safety signals were buried, a new FOI release has revealed.
If you're considering participating in a clinical trial in the U.K., maybe don't, says Nick Hunt. Trials are regulated by the MHRA, and its failures here are no less extensive and serious than elsewhere.
It turns out that the U.K. drugs regulator the MHRA is responsible for making its own rules and marking its own homework. No wonder it repeatedly fails to keep the public safe, writes ex-Senior Civil Servant Nick Hunt.
COVID-19 vaccines must be suspended owing to the level of reported injuries and deaths across all age groups and a full inquiry launched into the MHRA, the regulator which approved them, a group of experts has said.
Government Minister Will Quince claimed the MHRA is "globally recognised for requiring high standards of safety and effectiveness". That is palpable nonsense, says Nick Denim.
U.K. drugs regulator the MHRA has been refusing to disclose key information relating to the safety of the Covid vaccines of late, repeatedly claiming the requests are "vexatious". What has it got to hide?
Back in February 2021, MHRA promised to do a whole range of routine population-level data analysis “to quickly detect a potential safety signal” for the Covid vaccines. So, where is it?
