Report a side effect
What you need to know
What is pharmacovigilance?
Pharmacovigilance (PV) is the science and activities related to the detection, assessment, understanding, and prevention of adverse effects or any other medicine-related problem. Its purpose is to protect patients through the continuous monitoring of medicine safety after products reach the market.
What is a side effect?
A side effect (adverse reaction) is any harmful and unintended response associated with the use of a medicine — including harm resulting from overdose, misuse, or medication error.
Why reporting side effects matters
Patient safety is our core focus. Every report helps us monitor product safety and spot patterns that may not surface during clinical trials.
How you can help
Contact your doctor or pharmacist for treatment advice, and use our online reporting service to report directly any side effect you experience.
The patient's role in reporting
The patient's role in reporting adverse drug reactions is a key element in building an improved system of pharmacovigilance. Thank you for taking the time to report a safety concern.
