Yellow Card Scheme

Reporting suspected adverse drug reactions

 

3. Serious reactions

All serious suspected reactions must be reported via the Yellow Card Scheme, regardless of whether a product is a black triangle drug or vaccine. The side-effects of an established drug may be well known but if a serious reaction occurs it should always be reported so that rare or delayed effects can be identified.

Serious reactions include those that are:

 

Fatal

 

Life-threatening

 

Disabling or incapacitating

 

Result in or prolong hospitalisation

 

Congenital abnormalities

 

Medically significant
