Public Health Advisories (Drugs)

 

 

As of January 29, 2010, FDA has transitioned to using one safety communication to provide the public with easy access to important drug safety information. These Drug Safety Communications have replaced Early Communications, Follow-Up Early Communications, Information for Healthcare Professional sheets, and Public Health Advisories. They are written in an easy-to-read, interactive format so that the public can access the information that is relevant to them. FDA has provided links on the new Drug Safety Communications page to the archived safety communications.

 

 

These advisories provide important drug safety information and recommendations of actions that can be taken by patients or caregivers to avoid or minimize harm from a drug. They are issued when FDA has information that would help doctors and patients make better treatment choices.
