Reporting suspected side effects of certain medicines to the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) ensures safe and effective use.
Report a suspected reaction with a medicine or medical device using the Yellow Card Scheme as soon as possible, for example if:
a medicine causes side effects
someone’s injured (or almost injured) by a medical device, either because its labelling or instructions aren’t clear, it’s broken or has been misused
MHRA will review the product and if necessary and take action to minimise risk and maximise benefit to patients and the public.
