As a healthcare professional (doctor, dentist, pharmacist, midwife), you must report any suspected adverse effects resulting from the use of a medicinal product for human use.

Other healthcare professionals, as well as patients, may or may not make a declaration.

Each notification strengthens pharmacovigilance, helps protect public health and ensures a positive benefit-risk balance for patients.

This information concerns in particular the adverse effects occurring in humans whether or not a medicine is used in accordance with the approved indications.

They also include certain specific situations, with or without associated adverse effects, including:

• prescription errors;
• abuse, misuse, overdoses;
• uses not covered by the authorisation for marketing;
• accidental exposure; or
• exposure during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

You can report a suspected adverse effect of a medicine for human use:

• online via MyGuichet.lu (with or without authentication);
• should MyGuichet.lu be unavailable, via the adverse effect notification form which must be sent by email to either crpv@chru-nancy.fr or pharmacovigilance@ms.etat.lu;
• by telephone by contacting the Regional Pharmacovigilance Centre (CRPV) in Nancy on (+33) 3 83 65 60 85.
