Informational Flyer on Reporting Adverse Events after the Use of Veterinary Medicinal Products

The reporting, systematic recording, and evaluation of suspected side effects takes place within the framework of the spontaneous reporting system. This system is a central pillar in the monitoring of veterinary medicinal product safety, because it allows for the timely detection of new safety signals and maximises the benefit of the medicinal products for animals. In a newly published joint flyer, the Paul-Ehrlich-Institut (PEI) and the Federal Office of Consumer Protection and Food Safety (Bundesamt für Verbraucherschutz und Lebensmittelsicherheit, BVL) provide information on topics such as the safety of veterinary medicinal products and reporting channels for adverse events – also called suspected side effects – after the use of veterinary medicinal products.
