In addition to FDA's official website on www.fda.gov, FDA uses social media and third-party (non-FDA) websites to share information and to engage with the public.

Look up the drug or biological product in Drugs @ FDA. Most FDA-approved human drugs and therapeutic biological products are listed in Drugs @ FDA, a searchable database. The database allows you to search by drug name, active ingredient, or application (NDA, ANDA, or BLA) number.

Reporting can be done through our online reporting portal or by downloading, completing and then submitting FDA Form 3500 (health professional) or 3500B (consumer/patient) to MedWatch: The FDA Safety Information and Adverse Event Reporting Program.

MedWatch receives reports from the public and when appropriate, publishes safety alerts for FDA-regulated products such as: Prescription and over-the-counter medicines. Biologics such as blood components, blood/plasma derivatives and gene therapies. Medical devices such as hearing aids, breast pumps, and pacemakers.
