What should you report

You can report suspected side effects of any medicine or herbal remedy, whether it was prescribed by a healthcare professional or bought without a prescription. It is especially useful for us to receive information about a suspected side effect that:

* is not mentioned in the patient information leaflet that came with the medicine

* causes problems bad enough to interfere with everyday activities

* happens when you're taking more than one medicine, and could be caused by interactions.

Sometimes it is difficult to tell whether a possible side effect is due to a medicine or something else; however, even if you are unsure whether a medicine or combination of medicines has caused a side effect, but suspect that it has, please complete a Yellow Card.

If you have concerns about your symptoms you can contact NHS 111 Online or discuss with your doctor.
