Reporting Adverse Events and Interactions

How to report adverse events to FDA MedWatch

Therefore, clinicians have several options for reporting adverse events:

1. Report it to the manufacturers or distributor of the products. Under the new law, they will report it to FDA's Medwatch

2. The clinician can contact MedWatch themselves.

MedWatch Online Voluntary Reporting Form

Dietary Supplements - Adverse Event Reporting

FDA website that lists recalled products and actions

3. Another excellent and easy way to report is to contact your local poison control centers. The national toll-free number for poison control is 1-800-222-1222.
