To report a side effect
(adverse drug reaction)
Side effects (adverse drug reactions) should be reported.
The following information is required for all reports about side effects:
- The side effect
- The name and/or description of the side effect(s).
- The name of the medicine which you think caused it.
- The name of the medicine(s) (including vaccines) you suspect might have caused the side effect.
- Information about the person who had the side effect
At least one of the following pieces of information
- initials
- sex
- age
at the time of the side effect for the person who had the side effect.
In addition, indicate if it was you or your child who had the side effect, or whether you are reporting on behalf of someone else. If you are reporting on behalf of someone else (perhaps your spouse or partner, your adult son or daughter, or someone you look after), please note that you need to have their agreement to report.
- Your contact details as the reporter of the side effect
Your name and contact details, so that we can let you know that we have received your report, and contact you for further information if necessary. If you provide an e-mail address, we will use this to contact you; and if you prefer us to contact you by post, please provide your full postal address.
In addition to this essential information, you may have more details that you wish to provide. This can include the dates of the side effects, dates the medicine was taken, any relevant medical history, or any other medications taken at the time of the side effect. This added information is not essential, but any further information about the suspected side effect experienced will help in the investigations.
Reports can be made by members of the public and healthcare professionals.
