The Brooks Law Firm encourages you to report any adverse drug effects to the FDA

Anyone who has experienced, or believes they have experienced an Adverse Event [AE] from taking a prescribed drug, or other drug sold at a drug store or pharmacy, should report the event to the FDA. The FDA keeps all reports in its database and these reports assist the FDA in understanding a drug’s safety profile and in determining whether it should be left on the market. The FDA has prescribed a form that must be used in reporting an Adverse Event. You can access this form on this website.
