How the VMD monitors the safety of animal medicines

How to use the service

The most important source of data is adverse event reports submitted by veterinary professionals, animal owners, farmers and others. These provide real-world evidence that is essential to our work. This is why we strongly encourage everyone to report. We also use: post-marketing research studies data collected from veterinary or other databases such as veterinary practice systems or those held by other government organisations reports of product defects published scientific literature data from other regulatory agencies
