Adverse Event Reporting Is Important

This information provides the critical feedback for all veterinary medicines, not only registered products. Reports may be just as critical for exempt products such as those containing oral selenium. Adverse events can take the form of unexpected side effects, residues and inefficacy as well as side effects and contraindications that are already included on the label. It is of value to report known issues when they occur at an unusual frequency or are of a serious nature. The ACVM Group encourages vets, registrants and others to provide adverse event reports (see the website at http://www.nzfsa.govt.nz/acvm/publications/forms/aer_form.htm).
