Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS)

The Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) is a database managed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that collects information about negative effects or problems related to medications and vaccines. Health professionals and the public can report issues, such as side effects, to ensure patient safety. FAERS helps the FDA monitor these reports to identify potential safety concerns, allowing them to take necessary actions, like updating warnings or conducting further investigations, to protect public health and ensure the safe use of drugs.
