Yellow Card Centre West Midlands is one of the regional centres of the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA). Our centre is based within City Hospital, Birmingham. Find out more about the team here.
What is a Yellow Card?
A Yellow Card is a report that an adverse drug reaction (or side effect to a
medicine) has been suspected. This reporting is one of the primary ways of discovering new adverse drug reactions to medicines and herbal products. This information is analysed by the MHRA to make medicines safer.
Yellow Cards can be reported via the Yellow Card website, through the Yellow Card app and paper forms are also accepted.
Please download the app from the Apple App Store, or Google Play Store.
