Report bad medicine side effects with Med Safety App – FDA urges public

The Food and Drugs Authority (FDA) has urged the public to report substandard or fake medicines as well as any side effects or adverse reactions experienced after taking medication using the Med Safety App.

In a public notice, the FDA said the app is free to download and easy to use, and is available for both Android and iOS devices. 

Users are required to search for "Med Safety App" on Google Play or the App Store, download and install the application, and follow the reporting process.

The Authority said reports submitted through the app help the FDA monitor medicine safety and protect public health. 

"Your report helps the FDA monitor medicine safety and protect public health. Together, we can make medicines safer for everyone," the FDA stated.
