The Yellow Card scheme is run by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA)<\/a>,<\/a> which safeguards medicines<\/a>, vaccines<\/a>, medical devices (including software, apps, and artificial intelligence<\/a>)<\/a>, blood products<\/a> and e-cigarettes<\/a> quality and efficacy in the United Kingdom. Through the Yellow Card scheme, the MHRA collects and monitors information on suspected safety concerns involving healthcare products, like side effects caused by a medicine, or adverse incidents involving medical devices.<\/p>\n Everyone has a different genetic makeup and therefore it is very difficult to predict whether an individual will experience a side effect. Whether you are a healthcare professional or a member of the public, you can help others by reporting side effects which you or your patients experience to the MHRA Yellow Card scheme. Reports help us gain a better understanding of medicine interactions and safeguard patients through vigilant monitoring.<\/p>\n Please click on the link below for information:<\/p>\nWhy report side effects to the Yellow Card scheme?<\/b><\/h2>\n
