First, Reporting Adverse Reactions to Marketed Health Products provides assistance on reporting adverse reactions to marketed health products including good case management practices. Second, Preparing and Submitting Summary Reports for Marketed Drugs and Natural Health Products addresses the format and content of annual summary reports (ASRs) and issue-related summary reports (IRSRs), as well as procedures for submission of these reports to Health Canada.
