What is "medwatch"

MedWatch is the Food and Drug Administration’s Safety Information and Adverse Event Reporting Program. MedWatch is used for reporting an adverse event or sentinel event. Founded in 1993, this system of voluntary reporting allows such information to be shared with the medical community or the general public. The system includes publicly available databases and online analysis tools for professionals. MedWatch also disseminates medical product safety alerts - such as recalls and other clinical safety communications - via its website, email list, Twitter, and RSS feed.
