About Adverse Events

Adverse Events is a free, independent pharmacovigilance reporting service open to consumers and healthcare professionals worldwide. It was created by Dr Sean Hall to lower the barrier for reporting suspected adverse reactions to medicines, supplements, foods, cosmetics, and medical devices.

Why it exists

Under-reporting of adverse reactions is a well-documented problem in pharmacovigilance. National regulatory portals can be hard to find, country-specific, and intimidating for non-professionals. This service provides a single, simple entry point for anyone, anywhere, to submit a report — which is then reviewed and may be forwarded to the appropriate regulatory authority.

What happens to your report

1. 1. You submit a report and receive a reference number immediately.
2. 2. The report is reviewed for completeness and clinical plausibility.
3. 3. Where appropriate, the report is forwarded to the relevant national regulator (FDA, TGA, MHRA, Health Canada, EMA, or others).
4. 4. You may be contacted for follow-up if additional information is needed.
