New Government Resources - Health
Health Canada launched a searchable online database that allows direct access to the latest reported adverse drug reactions as recorded in Health Canada's Canadian Adverse Drug Reaction Information System (CADRIS).
Before the launch of Health Canada's new online database, adverse reaction reports from CADRIS were available only by request, with a minimum wait time of two weeks.
The database can be searched by the name of the product or active ingredient, the date a report was received, patient age and gender, and the outcome of the adverse reaction.
As the CBC reports, "(T)he move comes 15 months after CBC News made a version of the database available online, following a five-year struggle with Health Canada to obtain the information in database format under Canada's federal Access to Information Act."
