The Office for the Registration of Medicinal Products for Medical Devices and Biocidal Preparations has unveiled a new patient activation spot. In 2016, the number of patients who reported adverse drug reactions to the government agency increased by 30 per cent.
According to URPL calculations, 18677 adverse reactions were reported to the authority last year.
"Comparing with 2015, we had 30 per cent more of these reports in 2016. Hopefully, thanks to our campaign and another video that explains in simple terms how to report adverse reactions and why to do it at all.
The data for next year will be even better," concludes Grzeegorz Cessak, President of URPL, and reminds us that reporting of adverse reactions is simple and can be done through the reporting forms available on the authority's website or through the Mobit Skaner mobile application. In addition, adverse reactions can be reported through traditional channels - by telephone or fax.
