Promoting the
Safe Use of Medication
[Posted 10/27/2008]
The
Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has created a new
webpage to be a single-access point for drug safety
information. It is designed to assist both consumers
and healthcare professionals in making appropriate
decisions on medication use.
The Postmarket Drug Safety Information for Patients
and Providers webpage contains numerous links to
websites, documents, and databases. This site is
divided into several sections, including:
-
Drug
Labeling
-
Registries and Clinical Trials
-
Latest
Safety Information
-
Warnings and Recalls
-
Regulation and Guidance Documents
The FDA
created the webpage in accordance with the Food and
Drug Administration Amendments Act of 2007.
