Medical side effects or adverse events
If you believe that you have experienced any medical side effects or reactions from a Novartis product, you should consult your physician, pharmacist or other healthcare professional immediately. You can also report these to us directly using the information found on Novartis.com
We suggest sharing as little personal information as possible on the LinkedIn Page, especially sharing any specific data concerning your personal health should be avoided. Once your personal information has been disclosed publicly, your privacy can no longer be guaranteed.
Should you, however, decide to include a post detailing any side effects, Novartis may need to contact you to find out more information. Posts of this nature may not appear or may need to be removed from our LinkedIn Page; this is due to legal obligations concerning drug safety reporting.
Adverse Event if any, needs to be reported to Novartis Patient Safety and the reporting should be done within 24 hours to Novartis through our contact (Tel- +65 6722 6409) or email (Mail ID: [email protected]) or via our Novartis online adverse events tool (https://psi.novartis.com)
