Does submitting a Yellow Card report really make a difference?
Yes. Data we gather from the Yellow Card Scheme are vital in our work to protect the public, by ensuring that drugs are used safely. We need the data in order to continue identifying new side effects and ways in which the risks of recognised side effects can be minimised. Every report we receive contains potentially useful information – without the reports, we simply would not be able to continue this important work. The value of the scheme has been demonstrated many times and it has helped to identify numerous important safety issues. For example warnings were added to the product information for the smoking-cessation drug varenicline after we received Yellow Cards reporting suicidal ideation.
