Online reporting of adverse reactions

The details of the reporting person (email address or telephone number) are used to contact them if there are any further questions about the reported case.
Reported cases of adverse reactions will be reviewed by an employee immediately upon receipt. Together with the regional pharmacovigilance centres, Swissmedic evaluates whether a causal relationship between administration of the medicinal product and the adverse event is possible and whether this event is already known, i.e. whether its nature and extent are stated in the information for healthcare professionals for the product.
According to agreements, adverse event reports from Switzerland are forwarded to the WHO database and are thus available for further analyses at the international level. The pharmaceutical companies concerned are also informed about the reports.
