In March this year the federal government introduced A Patient Guide for Reporting Side Effects from Health Products. Reporting by both consumers and physicians will help ensure the safety of the drugs approved for consumption in Canada in “real world” conditions. Latest advisories, recalls and warnings are also included on the MedEffect website.

took one pill of arthrotec-50 and was having major headache, pain in left leg, and also feeling like I was going to be sick. I phoned the pharmacy to tell them that I was not feeling well and she told me not to take anymore.
Not sure what I can take. I have other health issues along with arthritis.
