Welcome to the Yellow Card reporting site
Anyone can report an issue with a medicine, vaccine, medical device, blood product or e-cigarette to the Yellow Card scheme.
Use the Coronavirus Yellow Card reporting site to report side effects related to coronavirus treatment.
The Yellow Card scheme is run by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), which safeguards medical products quality and efficacy in the United Kingdom.
Reporting makes a big difference
Your Yellow Card report plays a key part in keeping others safe. Your experience can ensure that all healthcare products can continue their positive impact on peoples’ lives, by helping the MHRA identify new safety issues as early as possible.
You can find examples of where reporting to the Yellow Card scheme has made a difference in our case studies. You can also view information on what is being reported.
Worried about your health?
Speak to your doctor, pharmacist or to call NHS 111 if you are worried about your health. If you’re deaf and want to use the phone service, you can use the NHS 111 British Sign Language service available in your country.
We are unable to provide you with medical advice.
Always read the patient information leaflet, or instructions supplied with your medicine or medical device. It lists the known side effects or problems and advises you on what to do.
