Report side effects

Nine in ten adverse drug reactions
are never reported.

  • Regulators can only act on what reaches them.
  • No doctor, no diagnosis, no proof required.
  • Twenty minutes, once, and it is on the record for good.
21 of 240. Each dot is an adverse drug reaction; the lit ones reached a regulator. The FDA puts the share that ever does at 1–10%. The MHRA puts it at 10% of serious reactions, and 2–4% of the rest. FDA MHRA
How it works

What happens when you submit

Most people don’t report because they assume nothing happens to it.

1

It reaches your regulator

  • The medicines authority in your own country
  • A named person reads it
2

It joins the global database

  • Forwarded to WHO's VigiBase in Uppsala
  • And to EudraVigilance inside Europe
  • Which already holds finasteride reports from 153 countries
3

It gets scanned for patterns

  • Statisticians ask: is this reaction more common than chance allows?
  • They can only scan reports that exist
4

It can force a review

  • A strong enough signal triggers one
  • That is how the FDA revised finasteride's label in 2011
It still counts
  • “I can’t prove it was the drug.”
  • “It was years ago.”
  • “My doctor disagreed.”
  • “Someone will already have reported it.”

Do it anyway.

Not one of these disqualifies you. Every route on this page takes suspected reactions, straight from patients, however long ago it happened.

PFS & PSSD registry

Do both: report it, then join the registry

Your regulator counts the reaction. Our registry counts the person — and it is what lets researchers, journalists and clinicians see how many of you there are. Both matter, and neither replaces the other.

Your report is the evidence
