“The citizen must strive to deepen knowledge and understanding on the effectiveness and safety of these products as well as properly using medicines and the like” in the Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Law. Because of the spread of the Internet, information is flooded, but is it all reliable information? Is it possible to say that the information from the patient’s point of view is now enough prepared? The information that the patient sought is diverse and it is recommended to consult a doctor / pharmacist first, but in addition to that, highly reliable information that the patient themselves can obtain is also necessary. In this session, experts from industry, government and academia will discuss the future directions of drug information provision in Japan on each side of those who prepare and provide drug information, patients, people who explain to patients, and PMDA.
