Happy Holidays Everyone!🎄🎅 #genomics #cdnhealth

Making medicines safer for everyone to use requires global teamwork. From patients and their families to healthcare professionals, regulatory agencies, and more – we all have a role to play 🤝 #MedSafetyWeek unites us under the same banner. In this spirit, we are delighted to share a special video greeting with you from @DrTedros, Director-General of @WHO, as we celebrate 10 years of the campaign.

📢It's #MedSafetyWeek 🏨🩺💊 Did you know that you can report side effects from medications to @GovCanHealth ? Any Canadian can report a side effect to a health product here: lnkd.in/g_gQFigT Your report makes drugs safer for all Canadians!🍁 @UMCGlobalSafety

🚨A recent @nytimes article highlights a troubling trend: deaths from falls among older adults have tripled over the past 30 years - reaching over 41,000 deaths in the USA in 2023. Experts say increased use of certain prescription drugs may be a factor. tinyurl.com/5n64n5hc

At ADR Canada, we are committed to sharing evidence-based information to support safe and informed decisions about medication use. #MedicationSafety #Pharmacovigilance #PatientSafety #EvidenceBased #cdnhealth

This moment highlights how quickly public debate can raise questions about medication safety - and why strong pharmacovigilance, transparency, and scientific rigor are critical in protecting patient health.

There’s been recent discussion about acetaminophen (Tylenol) use in pregnancy and possible links to autism. These claims are being made without conclusive evidence. To date, research has not established a causal link, nor has this been recognized as an adverse drug reaction.

#VigiBase is the world's largest database of adverse event reports. WHO PIDM members can benefit from global safety insights and enrich them by contributing their national data to the WHO global database. Want to know more? Visit #UppsalaReports 👉 ow.ly/FxQB50TKLj8

What is #pharmacovigilance? Reports of potential side effects from patients and healthcare professionals help us improve patient safety worldwide. 👀 Find out how the #MedSafetyCycle works in this illustrated story 👉 ow.ly/EoZ950LOJE4

Happy Canada Day! 🇨🇦 Together, we can build a healthier, stronger Canada for generations to come. #HappyCanadaDay #cdnhealth #cdnpoli

Spontaneous adverse event reports are a cornerstone of #pharmacovigilance. Yet underreporting and data quality issues still plague PV systems globally. How can we improve? 🎧 Tune in to #DrugSafetyMatters to hear more about data quality in ADR reports 👉 ow.ly/PPiY50W6S6b

🧬#Pharmacovigilance has come a long way in helping us link medicines to their side effects. With the help of pharmacogenomics, it can go even further. Open the window to using #pharmacogenomics data to solve drug-induced problems in #UppsalaReports 👉 ow.ly/bBAX50VNKP1

🧬 Our genotype can contribute 15 to 95% of how we react to medicines. When may genetic testing be necessary to avoid the risk of potential side effects? Learn more about our genes and adverse events in #UppsalaReports 👉 ow.ly/8cgG50VKi0w

Congratulations to all those elected to serve as Members of Parliament yesterday 🇨🇦 We look forward to collaborating with you to reduce ADRs and promote policies that support the safe and effective use of medications #cdnpoli #cdnhealth #pharmacogenomics

Warmest wishes to everyone for a joyful holiday season! 🎄✨

In the UK, the entire genetic code 🧬 of up to 100,000 newborn babies will be analysed by the @NHS with the aim of speeding up the diagnosis and treatment of more than 200 rare diseases. Way to go @GenomicsEngland 👏🏽 tinyurl.com/3f5z3zpj

ADRs are usually studied as drug-event combinations. Yet this approach may be too simplistic when it comes to complex reactions. For #UppsalaReports, @FusaroliMichele proposes new conceptual frameworks to delve deeper into the intricacies of side effects👇 uppsalareports.org/articles/updat…

As we celebrate Canada Day today, let us look forward to a future of continued collaboration and innovation in healthcare. Together, we can build a healthier, stronger Canada for generations to come. Happy Canada Day! 🇨🇦 #HappyCanadaDay #cdnhealth #cdnpoli
