The Drug Safety Newsletter (DSN), Volume 2, Issue 2, 2009 is now available at:
http://www.fda.gov/Drugs/DrugSafety/DrugSafetyNewsletter/default.htm
DSN is published online quarterly, and provides information for healthcare professionals about the findings of selected post-marketing drug safety reviews, important emerging drug safety issues, and recently approved new drugs. The newsletter is intended to complement other FDA methods of communicating drug safety information to the public. FDA also hopes the newsletter will raise awareness of reported adverse events, and stimulate additional adverse event reporting by healthcare professionals.
Post-Market Reviews include:
- Quinine (Marketed as Qualaquin) Overview of off-label use and serious adverse events
- Zolendronic Acid (Marketed as Reclast) Reports of acute renal impairment and failure associated with once-yearly intravenous treatment for osteoporosis in postmenopausal women
- Arginine Hydrochloride Injection (Marketed as R-Gene 10) Reports of medication errors and adverse events in a pediatric population
You are encouraged to report all serious adverse events and product quality problems to FDA MedWatch at www.fda.gov/medwatch/report.htm
