Have you had an issue with a medicine, medical device, or food product and did not know who to notify? The Food and Drug Administration has a consumer-friendly form for reporting adverse events and other serious safety problems with FDA regulated products. The program that processes this information, and uses it to protect your health, is called MedWatch. And it needs your help.

To explain how everyone can provide this critical assistance, the FDA will host a webinar "FDA's MedWatch Program: Voluntarily Reporting Problems to the FDA."

  • When: Thursday, Aug. 28, at 2:30 PM ET.
  • Who: Cristina Whalen Klafehn Pharm.D., B.C.P.S., a Health Programs Coordinator in FDA's Office of Health and Constituent Affairs, will give an overview and answer questions about how to report adverse events to MedWatch. 
  • Where: Register for the webinar at - http://www.fda.gov/AboutFDA/Transparency/Basics/ucm408548.htm

Also, read the Consumer Update to learn more about the important role you can play in reporting problems to the FDA.
