ABSTRACT:
The present study describes the pharmaceutical drug recall in different five countries to evaluate the drug recall that occurred in the last three successive years. The different countries have different regulations for drug recall. Drug product recall is an action taken to withdraw or remove a batch or an entire production run of drug product from distribution or use to return them to manufacturer.it is usually done due to deficiency in quality, safety and efficacy. In the USA, guidelines for drugs product recall are described under 21 CFR Parts 7, 107 and 1270. In Australia, guidelines for drugs product recall are described under section 65F of trade practices act 1974. In Canada, it includes under section 25 of Natural Health Products Regulations (NHPR). In India it includes under para 27 and 28 of schedule M. In South Africa SAHPRA (South African Health Products Regulatory Authority) guidelines are responsible for regulations of drug product recall. Majority of drug recalls occur in the United states due to various reasons. In 2020-2022 total 257 drugs were recalled in Last three years. In Canada and Australia 220 and 25 drugs are recalled respectively. India and South Africa have recalled 2 and 21 drugs respectively. By the observation we can conclude that India and South Africa have a smaller number of recalls. In the USFDA number of drug recalls are decreasing due to following up the laws and regulatory.
