The Food and Drugs Authority (FDA) has urged the public to report substandard or counterfeit medicines, as well as any side effects or adverse reactions experienced after taking medication, through the Med Safety App.

In a public notice, the FDA said the application is free to download and easy to use, and is available on both Android and iOS devices.

The Authority encouraged users to search for “Med Safety App” on Google Play or the App Store, download and install the application, and follow the steps provided to submit reports.

According to the FDA, information received through the app helps the Authority monitor the safety of medicines on the market and take steps to protect public health.

“Your report helps the FDA monitor medicine safety and protect public health. Together, we can make medicines safer for everyone,” the Authority stated.

The FDA said increased public participation in reporting suspected fake medicines and adverse drug reactions will strengthen efforts to ensure the safety and quality of medicines available to consumers.
