When Health Canada issues a recall for a product sold at pharmacies, such as Epipen, will pharmacists be automatically notified?

Yes, pharmacists are typically not automatically notified when Health Canada recalls a product sold in pharmacies. They often find out about recalls at the same time as the general population, as recalls are usually announced in the media around the same time as Health Canada issues the recall. If a pharmacist discovers that a recalled product is in their inventory, they are responsible for recalling it from their patients and contacting those who may have the product to inform them of the recall. This is done to ensure the safety of the patients and prevent any potential risks associated with the recalled product.
