MedWatch in the United States
The MedWatch is the FDA safety information and adverse event reporting program. This system facilitates the collection of reports of adverse reactions and quality problems, primarily with drugs and medical devices, but also for other FDA-regulated products (e.g., dietary supplements, cosmetics, medical foods, and infant formulas). It is intended to detect safety hazard signals for medical products. If a signal is detected, the FDA issues medical product safety alerts or order product withdrawals, recalls, or other labeling changes to protect the public health.
