COMMUNIQUE

Volume 9, Number 3 July 1999

The purpose of this section is to increase awareness of ADRs recently reported to the CADRMP. The following cases have been selected on the basis of their seriousness, or the fact that the reactions do not appear in the product monograph. They are intended to prompt reporting. (The terminology used for expressing reactions is based on the World Health Organization's Adverse Reaction Dictionary using the "preferred term.")
