The attached RxISK Report highlights symptoms reported by your patient as possible drug side effects on RxISK.org — a global prescription drug safety website that provides individual causality assessments. The purpose of this report is to support the clinical consultation between you and your patient. You can access and add to the report, as well as view aggregate data, patterns, and narratives from patients and healthcare professionals who have reported and managed similar problems with the suspect drug. Your voice is very important in this — the observations of health care professionals on links between treatment and adverse drug events have been shown to be correct in more than 80% of cases where previously unknown drug side effects have first been described. Please go to: rxisk.org/share/WPqD2Eemyi (case sensitive). You will be asked to answer three questions (once you create your RxISK profile, a one-time exercise that takes two minutes): 1. How likely do you think it is that there is a link between the side effect(s) your patient reported and the suspect drug? 2. Have the side effect(s) your patient described been assigned the correct diagnostic code? 3. Do you have any other comments on questions we've asked — or questions we should have asked? Thank you for helping to make medicines safer for all of us. RxISK Report for: JRSmith (34 years) Generated: 27 October 2013 Unique share code: WPqD2Eemyi RxISK Score: 0 0-4 More information required
