MADRAC Bulletin

The MADRAC Bulletin is now a bi-monthly publication that provides a selection of local safety signals and articles discussing local individual case safety reports (ICSRs) meant to raise awareness among healthcare professionals. Information contained in this publication is not comprehensive but rather represents a selection of clinically relevant items warranting enhanced dissemination.

The MADRAC Bulletin also features pharmacovigilance-related activities conducted by the National Pharmaceutical Regulatory Agency (NPRA) and contains a list of directives based on safety issues advised by the Malaysian Adverse Drug Reactions Advisory Committee (MADRAC) and endorsed by the Drug Control Authority (DCA) as well as safety alerts that have been published on the NPRA website.

To receive the latest issues of MADRAC Bulletin, you may join the NPRA Safety Information Mailing List by completing the subscription form.

The MADRAC Bulletin is intended for healthcare professionals and is only available in English.
