FDA’s Warning System for Drug Adverse Reactions
Posted by medconsumers on June 10, 2009
It’s a well-acknowledged fact that it takes years for all of the harms about a drug or medical device to emerge. The Food and Drug Administration regularly publishes a list of drugs and other medical products whose prescriber labeling and/or patient information has been updated with new warnings. The Medwatch Program is the FDA’s Safety Information and Adverse Event Reporting System/a>>. It provides a list organized by the severity of the drug’s risk and describes the specific nature of the label changes, for example, a new black box warning. If you see a drug of interest on the list, just click on the product name in the left hand column and you can see the new warnings and cautions about the product’s use.
