FDA’s MedWatch

If you’re at all concerned about Vioxx, Bextra, Celebrex, Accutane, or Zyprexa, you may want to bookmark the FDA’s MedWatch page, which is “your Internet gateway for timely safety information on the drugs and other medical products regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.”

MedWatch is “The FDA Safety Information and Adverse Event Reporting Program,” and it contains a wealth of information and updates on adverse reactions to various medications, devices, and so forth.

For instance, today the front page includes recently updated info on counterfeit drugs coming from Mexico, external defibrillators, and meds like Zometa, Aredia and Natrecor.
