<p>The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency is responsible for monitoring
the safety of all healthcare products in the United Kingdom, including short-acting
beta agonists and oral corticosteroids to treat asthma. They receive information about
safety issues from patients and clinicians through the Yellow Card Scheme. They review
the product if necessary and take action to minimise risk and maximise benefit to
the patients. Decisions about prescribing rest with the doctor or other prescriber
who has clinical responsibility for the particular aspect of a patient’s care.</p>
