Remove the drug entry (or rename it to: "DO NOT PRESCRIBE: orginal-drug-name").

Write a hook script which at patient invocation time checks
patients' drugs and warns if the patient is on the withdrawn
drug.

Write a Report Generator query to find patients.

I also think FreeDiams should gain explicit understanding of
recall - it needn't be complicated but it should be there.
Maybe that issue should be raised on the FreeDiams list ?

(Surely, their implementation may need three-value logic:

        .is_recalled:
                True    - explicit recall
                False   - we know the source delivers reliable recall status
                None    - we don't know
)
