Report Drug side effects to the FDA

[Copy_CaT]

Reporting by Consumers

MedWatch is the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) program for reporting serious reactions, product quality problems, therapeutic inequivalence/failure, and product use errors with human medical products

Submitting Adverse Event Reports to FDA

There are three routes available to submit voluntary adverse event reports to the FDA:

• Online reporting form¹
  
• Download a copy of the paper form² and either fax it to 1-800-FDA-0178 or mail it using the postage-paid addressed form. (Send only page 1 plus any continuation pages - do not send instruction pages)
  
• Call FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 to report by telephone
  

We would all got better care for our illnesses if people would take the time to do this.

Considering pretty much any side effect you're likely to have is already listed in the PDR and on the PI sheets, what's the point of this?

At least check and see if your side effect is already on the list of known ones before wasting somebody's time with this.

I've reported side-effects to the FDA twice, once for Zonegran before they were including kidney issues in their PI, and once for some other rare side-effect, and I totally forget which one that was.

You assume that the members here other than yourself are so infantile we would be scared by your completely evidence-free histrionics. Oh, wait, I forgot your evidence: A WHOLE WEBSITE. Which YOU didn't make, so it MUST be true. Are you kidding me?

You assume that we are uneducated about psychiatric medications. That isn't a good assumption to make on this site. Which I remind you is a pro-med site.

I would say report it if it isn't already a noted side effect...and it probably will be.

This also assumes the patient lives in the USA...I doubt people overseas care about the FDA.

Now if it's a pregnant lady who decided to stay on her meds, she would do a favor for her fellow ladies to report her experience to the pregnancy registry for her drug(s).

Replying line for line kinda here

Thats good the faster these bad effects are reported the better so we can make good choices.

That website was reporting why e-lilly got busted for $1,420,000,000 1.42 b tells me it must be kinda true, thats not a faulty red light camera fine for a traffic violation that might have happened.

I assumed that thread on zyprexa withdrawaI would be lost like a needle in a haystack , to be dug up someday by someone with the kind of rare ? "zyprexa sickness" like I had wading through pages of online phamacy sites and b.s online marketing looking for the awnsers I needed

deperately... and advice to avoid my and health cares mistakes.

I know how smart "crazy" people are. Mental illness and stupidity rarely co-exist.

But editing my posts ? The worst thing about cencorship has to be ******* *** **** with ***** ******** being almost as bad.
