Medicines are developed to be as safe and effective as possible, but they can still causeside effects.
It is important for people to report adverse effects to medicines as thisinformation can be used to identify previously unknown issues with those medicines.
Adverse effects sometimes stop patients from completing their treatment, which canlead to even more serious problems.
Reporting adverse effects encourages a dialoguebetween patients and healthcare professionals and helps professionals to identify andinvestigate unknown or poorly described adverse effects.
