The Yellow Card Scheme is the UK system for collecting information on suspected adverse drug reactions (ADRs) to medicines. The scheme allows the safety of the medicines and vaccines that are on the market to be monitored.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Yellow Card Scheme )〕 The Scheme was founded in 1964 after the thalidomide disaster, and was developed by Bill Inman. It is run by the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) and the Commission on Human Medicines (CHM). Suspected ADRs are collected on all licensed medicines and vaccines, from those issued on prescription to medicines bought over the counter from a pharmacist or supermarket. The Scheme also includes all herbal preparations and unlicensed medicines. ADRs can be reported by anyone; this is usually done by healthcare professionals - including doctors, pharmacists and nurses - but patients and carers can also make reports. The sort of ADRs that should be reported are: * ADRs that have caused death or a serious illness * Any ADR, however minor, if associated with a new medicine or one that is under continued monitoring (highlighted in the British National Formulary (BNF) with a ▼ black triangle) * Any ADR, however minor, if associated with a child (under 18 years of age) or in pregnancy Yellow Cards are available from pharmacies and a few are presented near the back of the BNF as tear-off pages, copies may also be obtained by telephoning +44 (0) 808 100 3352.〔''A side effect of your medicine?

The Yellow Card Centre Scotland is a joint venture between MHRA and the Scottish Government.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Yellow Card Centre Scotland )〕 == See also == *Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) *Pharmacovigilance *EudraVigilance *Uppsala Monitoring Centre (WHO) *British National Formulary 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Yellow Card Scheme」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
