The MedWatch Program

The MedWatch Program is an initiative by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that allows healthcare professionals and consumers to report safety issues related to medical products, such as drugs, medical devices, and vaccines. Its goal is to quickly identify and address potential risks, ensuring the continued safety and effectiveness of these products. By submitting reports, users help the FDA monitor real-world usage, detect problems early, and make informed decisions to protect public health. Participation in MedWatch helps maintain high safety standards across the healthcare system.
