Question 25290 — pharmacy and medications

Summary

Ms. Martine Wonner draws the attention of the Minister of Solidarity and Health to the problem of drug-induced iatrogenics. These accidents are responsible for more than 10,000 deaths, more than 130,000 hospital stays and 1.3 million hospital days each year. Drug iatrogenics has a considerable human and economic cost. The population of people aged 65 and over is particularly concerned. In 2018, the ministry demonstrated its desire to improve the use of medications and health products by emphasizing the importance of using pharmacovigilance tools. Since March 2017, in order to promote the reporting of pharmacovigilance signals, the signalement-sante.gouv.fr portal has been made available to users and health professionals. Patient, consumer or user have the possibility to report on this portal adverse health events that they suspect of being linked to health products. An assessment after its first year of commissioning showed that the platform was heavily used by users. Health professionals, for their part, must improve reporting rates. She asks whether these reports have already made it possible to identify new risks or clarify those already identified and, if so, to state the measures that have been implemented to prevent or limit these health risks.
