Links to help lines: I find it complex to report an adverse drug effect. Can anyone help?
To start with, you can ask your pharmacist or a nurse. Some patient organisations working with pharmacovigilance authorities can also explain how to best complete the report.
The European Network of Rare Diseases Help Lines is also trained to respond to any question you may have in this respect. They can even fill in the form for you, by asking you the relevant questions when you call them. This will ensure highest reporting quality by making sure all questions are answered.
