E-Drug: Consumer reports on medicines
-----------------------------------------------------------
Dear E-druggers,
Next weekend (29 September - 1 October) there will be a conference on
Consumer Reports on Medicines in Sigtuna, Sweden.
Announcements were circulated to E-drug before, but we did not realy
discuss the issue on E-drug.
To have a virtual input in the discussion, maybe E-druggers would like to
contemplate the following questions:
- How could consumers contribute to greater drug safety in your country?
- Do consumers participate in the pharmacovigilance / ADR reporting system
in your country?
- If so, actively or passively? How are consumer reports documented?
- Are consumer reports a useful addition to the existing ADR reporting
systems?
Comments will be presented to the conference in summarised format.
Thanks!
