Patient perspectives on drug recalls in the Netherlands: a qualitative study
Drug recalls cause a range of emotions in patients, leading to reduced confidence and use of medication in some patients. Preferences centered on understandable, transparent, and personalized communication led by pharmacists. The findings of this study emphasize the importance of embedding patient engagement and tailored communication within pharmacovigilance systems to maintain trust and support shared decision-making during drug recalls.
