It is of particular importance that serious adverse reactions should be notified promptly, including cases where an antiviral medicine is thought to have been ineffective. In addition, information on any patients treated with antiviral medicines during pregnancy should also be notified.
Adverse reactions may also be reported to us using the on-line Adverse Reaction Report form.
A downloadable version of the Adverse Reaction Report form is also available, which can be filled in manually and sent to the IMB by freepost.
