There have been lots of threads about symptoms that develop after taking new medications and discussions in which GNetters seem to reach a consensus of side effects.

I didn’t know that individuals can report these and that the body of evidence gathered from these reportings is examined and fed back to doctors.

This article from today’s Times explains how to give a drug a yellow card.

Yes Mamissimo my baby granddaughter had a very severe reaction to her last MMR jabs. She actually looked like she had measles And wasn’t herself at all. GP confirmed that less than 1 in a 100 children suffer such a severe side effect and she has reported it via the yellow card scheme.
