Was it a medication incident or an adverse drug reaction? What's the difference?

Do NOT Delay Starting Certain Medications
Some medications, such as blood thinners, should be started right away. In certain cases, a delayed start could cause harm. It is important for consumers to know which medications should be started right away.
SafeMedicationUse.ca received a report of a consumer who left the hospital with a prescription for a blood thinner. However, because his pharmacy was unable to fill the prescription for a few days, he could not start the medication right away. While waiting for the prescription to be filled, the consumer's leg became swollen. This swelling might have been related to the delay in starting the medication. Fortunately, the consumer did not suffer any harm.

New Symptoms: Could They Be Related to Your Medications?
Medications can cause unwanted symptoms, which are known as side effects or adverse drug reactions. The next time you have a new symptom, ask your healthcare provider if one or more of your medications could be the cause. Asking this question may help you to avoid taking medication that may not be needed.

Health Canada and the Institute for Safe Medication Practices Canada (ISMP Canada) are seeking input from healthcare providers, consumers, and other interested and affected stakeholders on different approaches to the naming of biologic drugs, including biosimilars, in Canada.
The objective of the consultation will be to gain insight into stakeholder views on the practical impacts of different approaches to the naming of biologic drugs and biosimilars throughout the medication-use process, including prescribing, dispensing, and adverse drug reaction reporting.

Don't Be Embarrassed to Talk to Your Pharmacist
If you have a sensitive or private health problem, you may be embarrassed to discuss it with your healthcare provider. But remember—your healthcare team wants to work with you to provide the best possible care for all your health problems. Good communication is needed to make this happen.

Visited my pharmacist yesterday to look for some information on medications. He used to have a display of free brochures available to the public on many topics but no longer shame . I sat and read through your website the other day, printed off posters, your brochure and some articles The information is basic and your presentation very consumer friendly How can your information and website be better promoted to Canadians ?
