The Defective Medicines Report Centre (DMRC) is a unit of the Inspection, Enforcement & Standards Division of the MHRA.

The role of the DMRC is to minimise the hazard to patients arising from the distribution of defective medicines by providing an emergency assessment and communication system between manufacturers, distributors, regulatory authorities and users.

The DMRC will normally support this action by the issue of a drug alert notification to healthcare professionals.
