[V2-S4] What Drug Information Do Patients and Their Families Really Want?
Session Chair(s)
Junko Sato, PhD
Associate Executive Director
Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency (PMDA), Japan
To promote proper use and maximize the value of drugs, it is critical that every stakeholder including HCPs, general public, patients, and media understand benefits and risks each drug have. Drug information is available quickly through internet. However the information can be too much, too technical, or untrustworthy and sometimes causes confusion and misunderstanding. Experts and patients will discuss what information patients and their families need and how to make it available.
