Reporting of Side Effects
This page contains the approved side effects reporting procedure for Pharma Nord products
Side-effects
A side-effect is an unwanted effect of a drug. Herbal medicines and food supplements can also have side-effects.
If you experience symptoms you did not expect, or symptoms that are not named in the patient information leaflet or other information for Pharma Nord products, you should contact your doctor. Important: If you consider that a side-effect may be serious you are recommended to immediately contact your doctor or the emergency services.
Your doctor can judge if a side-effect requires your treatment to be changed, or recommend that you stop using a product. Your doctor can report side-effects, and relevant information from your medical journal that can help in their assessment, to the national medicines agencies.
It is also possible to report side-effects via a pharmacy, or directly to the national medicines agency by following the instructions on their website.
Side-effects can be reported to Pharma Nord, but we recommend that reports are made to your doctor.
If you have questions regarding reporting of side-effects, including side-effects for food supplements and skin-care products, you are welcome to contact Pharma Nord.
