(a)inform wholesalers, retailers, medical practitioners, patients and others who may be in possession of relevant products of the revocation or suspension, the reasons for it, and the action (if any) to be taken to restrict or prevent further use, supply or marketing;
(b)withdraw from the market in the United Kingdom and recover possession of such products within the time and for the period specified in the notice.
