I had this too with Zoloft and the doctors didn't believe I was on a high enough dose to experience the side effect. It was bad for a week and was sporadic for another week or two. I was surprised that the doctor was so skeptical about a known side effect. It's not like I was trying to get more of that sweet sweet Zoloft. Medical devices have an incident reporting database that are required to be updated by companies and health professionals. Every pharma product should be subject to the same reporting -- whether the practitioner believes it or not.
- ekianjo 10y agoReporting for drugs is a standard for a long time now. You should report any adverse event to your physiciand and they are under obligation to report it to the pharma company who in turn sends annual reports of adverse events to the authorities. Serious side effects get reported to authorities within 24 hours and can lead to further investigations. A bunch of drugs were stopped in the past because of post marketing reports.
- daveguy 10y agoVery good. I work preclinical and am familiar with the devices version. Glad the same is in place in general pharma too. Although it does seem the results are not well communicated. Do you know the rules in place for a recall vs update to recommended protocols?
