How to report a suspected adverse event
If your animal(s) or you experience an adverse event after the administration of a veterinary medicine or you think that you or your animal may be experiencing one, you should seek advice from a veterinary healthcare professional , who will report the event.
Animal owners can also report suspected adverse events directly through various methods, such as online reporting forms hosted by national medicines regulatory authorities, or by telephone. Please consult the appropriate authority from the list of national veterinary medicine regulatory authorities in the European Economic Area (EEA) for information on how to report a suspected adverse event, as well as the following short guidance. Adverse events can also be reported to the company responsible for the veterinary medicine (‘marketing authorisation holder’).
The European Medicines Agency cannot accept or process adverse event reports directly from animal owners or from veterinary healthcare professionals. The Agency is also not in a position to provide medical advice or to discuss whether any adverse events observed are caused by a specific veterinary medicine.
