Side effects due to a medicine? Always report!

Side effects due to a medicine? Always report!

There are many over-the-counter medicines and health products for sale. That's nice, but the drugs can have side effects. If that's the case, we usually don't realize how important it is to report that.

If side effects only occur in one person, that doesn't say much, but if several people report the same side effect, it can be a reason to adjust the package leaflet or issue a warning, for example.

Campaign
To get that information, it is important that all side effects are reported to a central point. A campaign will start on Monday 23 September:Side effects? Report! This emphasizes the importance of reporting side effects to one central point.
