July 16, 2015

Britain’s Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) has released a 21st century version of the original Yellow Card system devised following the 1964 thalidomide medical debacle, intended as an early warning system to identify drug side effects and adverse events. MHRA collates and reviews reports of suspected adverse drug reactions on all licensed and unlicensed medicines and vaccines, prescription, OTC and supermarket.
