FDA Adverse Event Reporting System

The FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) is a database that collects reports about side effects, problems, or reactions people experience from using medications, vaccines, and medical devices. Healthcare professionals, manufacturers, and even patients can submit reports to help identify safety concerns. The FDA uses this information to monitor product safety, detect patterns of issues, and take action if necessary to protect public health. FAERS plays a crucial role in ensuring that healthcare products remain safe and effective for consumers.
