We’re experiencing issues with our datasets and search. We apologise for any inconvenience while we work to fix this.
We are aware of a technical issue affecting the ‘reported event outcome’ field where this field may appear blank in reports published before October 2019. We are currently working to resolve this issue.
As part of our surveillance system, we receive reports of problems that could possibly be related to the use of a medicine or medical device. These are also called adverse events or side effects. These reports are used to detect unusual or unexpected patterns of adverse events.
We publish information from these reports on the DAEN: medicines and the DAEN: medical devices.
Search the databases
As there are 2 separate databases, the first step is to decide if you are searching for information about a medicine or a medical device. Below you will find instructions on how to search the medicines database and the medical devices database.
