Explanation:

When a pharmacy technician is notified of a medication recall, the first - step is to prevent further distribution.

Listing the recall publicly online is usually a task for higher - level pharmacy management or the manufacturer. Reporting adverse effects to the FDA is typically the responsibility of healthcare providers or the manufacturer.
