How to read the results

A batch match is what matters. Recalls are issued for specific batches, so if the batch number on your box appears in an alert for the same medicine, stop using it, keep the pack, and return it to the pharmacy. A name match without a batch match usually means a different batch of the same medicine was affected; your pack is likely fine, but check the batch carefully.

Questions people ask

How do I check if my medicine batch is recalled?

Type the batch number printed on your pack (marked B. No., BN or Lot) into the search box on this page. We search every DRAP recall and rapid alert since 2021. If it matches, stop using the medicine and return it to the pharmacy.

What is the difference between a recall and a rapid alert?

A recall asks the company and the market to withdraw a specific batch, usually because a quality test failed. A rapid alert warns that spurious (fake), falsified, substandard or unregistered products have been found in the market and asks everyone to look out for them.

Where does this data come from?

From the recall alerts DRAP publishes on its website. We read and organise them so you can search by product name or batch number. Always treat DRAP's own notice as the final word.
