Report Adverse OxyContin Reactions to the FDA

If you have had an adverse reaction to OxyContin (including addiction) please report it to the FDAs Medwatch program. MedWatch is the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) program for reporting serious reactions and problems with medical products, such as drugs and medical devices.

If you think you or someone in your family has experienced a serious reaction to a medical product, you are encouraged to take the reporting form to your doctor. Your health care provider can provide clinical information based on your medical record that can help FDA evaluate your report.

However, we understand that for a variety of reasons, you may not wish to have the form filled out by your health care provider, or your health care provider may choose not to complete the form. Your health care provider is NOT required to report to the FDA. In these situations, you may complete the Online Reporting Form yourself via the internet. You will receive an acknowledgement from the FDA after they receive your report. You will be personally contacted only if they need additional information.

For information about a medical product, please call the FDA's toll-free information line, 1-888-INFO-FDA (1-888-463-6332) or visit http://www.fda.gov/medwatch/report/consumer/consumer.htm.
