Report a side effect

Report a side effect or other safety information

Please note that you should consult your general practitioner or other qualified health care provider if you:

 

  • Experience a health problem
  • Have questions regarding your personal health
  • You (or the person concerned if you are reporting on someone else’s behalf) are experiencing side effect(s) related to the use of a medicinal product  

If you are participating in a clinical trial, please report the side effect to your study site.

 

A side effect is an unwanted and unintended effect of a medicinal product experienced by a person. All medicinal products have potential side effects (also known as adverse events), but products may also have unexpected benefits.

 

At Lundbeck, we continuously monitor the safety and quality of our products to safeguard the people who depend on taking them. Information on side effects, unexpected benefits or other safety information (such as e.g. medication errors, pregnancy or use outside the approved indication) is an important source of information for this process. The information you provide therefore helps us ensure the safety of our products and the patients taking them.
