# How to Check Drug Recalls with ChatGPT

ChatGPT translates FDA recall notices into clear action steps. It explains what the recall classification means for you personally, describes what to do if your medication is affected, and clarifies whether the issue impacts all versions or specific lots. Complex regulatory alerts become straightforward guidance.
