Correct answer: C — Update procedures, brief the team and document affected patient advice

MHRA safety alerts require timely consideration and implementation where relevant to pharmacy practice. The team should update procedures, communicate key counselling points and document actions for affected patients. Blanket removal of medicines could cause harm. Alerts are regulatory safety communications, not optional marketing.
