Drugs are first tested in clinical trials to assess their safety and effectiveness before being approved for sale. However, not all side effects caused by drugs - adverse drug reactions (ADRs) - are identified in clinical trials. Indeed, in one study, a large proportion of ADRs was not detected before drugs were approved for sale.

CONT

Avant d'arriver sur le marché, les médicaments sont testés dans le cadre d'essais cliniques pour en évaluer l'innocuité et l'efficacité. Cependant, tous les effets secondaires d'un médicament donné - également appelés effets indésirables des médicaments (EIM) - ne sont pas identifiés lors des essais cliniques. De fait, selon une étude, un grand nombre d'effets indésirables ne sont pas décelés avant que les médicaments en cause soient commercialisés.
