Health experts are urging the public to take action and report any unexpected symptoms or mild side effects experienced while taking common medications, such as paracetamol, atorvastatin, ramipril, omeprazole, amlodipine, and lansoprazole. Dr Shanti Pal from the World Health Organisation emphasizes that patients hold the power in their own hands when it comes to tracking how drugs affect them outside of laboratory settings. Even minor issues like nausea, drowsiness, fatigue, rashes, or simply not feeling 'right' should not be overlooked. While severe adverse reactions are usually documented, milder symptoms are frequently endured in silence. However, every patient report contributes vital real-world evidence that helps authorities identify potential safety issues and improve future medical treatments. In the UK, patients are encouraged to report any suspected Adverse Drug Reactions through the Yellow Card scheme operated by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency. Sharing these experiences helps protect others and ensures medications remain as safe as possible. Fuente: WalesOnline #health #medication #WHO #patientsafety #UK
