| Help with reporting an adverse reaction Hi everyone, Through speaking with a lady down in Arizona, I found out that reactions to drugs are supposed to be reported. It’s been a year since Maezie died from anaphylactic shock in response to being given propofol when she went in for her dental. I found out my vet did not report it and she told me that the propofol was made for humans and since it was being used on an animal, that there was no one to report it to. Since then I’ve discovered that, as it says on the government of Canada website, both off-label and/or on-label use of drugs that result in an adverse reaction are considered adverse veterinary drug reactions, and thus, can be reported. At least that’s my understanding. And it seems it’s an off-label usage of that drug since it was made for humans. I’d like it to be reported if even for the basic reason of keeping statistics. I’m planning on sending some emails and maybe making some phone calls this week to find out if my veterinarian is mistaken or maybe I am misunderstanding it. For the time being, does anyone here know how the reporting of reactions often works in cases where a drug was being used off-label? It just seems to me what my vet told me and what I’m reading on the government of Canada website conflict with each other. So I’m a little bit confused. Here’s a link to what I was reading on reporting adverse reactions: https://www.canada.ca/en/health-canada/services/drugs-health-products/veterinary-drugs/adverse-drug-reactions-adrs.html |

| Just realizing now that I probably put this thread in the wrong section. It’s not an emergency. Maybe it belongs in the general section. Can someone move it there for me? Or wherever is the best place. Thanks. |

| I’m not sure why they would say using propofal is an off label use because it’s the most commonly used drug when putting dogs under anesthesia. I would just send a letter of an email to whoever is in charge of that stuff. Over here in the US we have the FDA and you can report things on their website. I definitely like you think it needs to be reported.

| Just to update, the Veterinary Drugs Directorate here in Canada has confirmed with me that the reaction can be reported to them even with the circumstances of the propofol being for humans instead of animals. I think that’s where the confusion was with my veterinarian. Or I guess I should say my previous veterinarian. I don’t think anything shady or nefarious or whatever was going on. I just think she just doesn’t know and was mistaken. I’ve been asked for both me and the veterinarian to fill out the report together. So that’s what I’m gonna do. |
