Can I report a medication error to MedWatch?

Asked a year ago
Yes, you can report a medication error to MedWatch. MedWatch is a program run by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that allows healthcare professionals and the general public to report adverse events, including medication errors, related to FDA-regulated products. If you experience or witness a medication error, such as receiving the wrong medication, incorrect dosage, or packaging issues, you should report it to MedWatch. Reporting medication errors plays a crucial role in monitoring the safety and effectiveness of medications in the market. You can submit a report online, by mail, or by fax using the appropriate FDA Form 3500. Your report will provide valuable information in identifying potential risks and improving patient safety.
