Glossary term
MHRA: MHRA is the UK regulator responsible for medicines and medical devices, including adverse-reaction reporting through the Yellow Card Scheme.
Why this term matters
Patients benefit from knowing who regulates medicines and where safety reporting goes.
UK medical cannabis context
NICE and GMC both direct readers to MHRA Yellow Card reporting for adverse events.
What not to assume
MHRA oversight does not mean any cannabis-branded product sold online is approved.
Careful wording: Avoid using MHRA by name to imply approval where none exists.
