Safety & Quality

Welcome to the section of the Irish Medicines Boards website that deals with safety and quality issues.

No medicinal products are risk free and indeed many of these risks are known at the time of licensing a medicine or when a medical device is first used. As product usage increases, more information on its safety profile becomes available and further decisions and recommendations regarding its use are made by the Irish Medicines Board and its international counterparts.

The IMB’s principal remit is to protect and enhance public health through the regulation of medicines, medical devices and healthcare products available on the Irish market. This section of the website provides information on notices published in respect of medical products and important information on monitoring product safety and quality.

A facility to report safety and quality issues is also contained within this section.
