The Canada Vigilance Adverse Reaction Online Database provides public access to suspected adverse-reaction reports received by Health Canada.
Core official resources
- Canada Vigilance database — interactive search.
- Data extracts — downloadable full-data extracts for users working with databases or analytical tools.
Interpretation caution
The records are suspected adverse reactions, not confirmed causal relationships. Health Canada explicitly cautions against using the database alone to determine a product's safety profile. For signal work, the data should be interpreted in the context of exposure, reporting behaviour, duplicate/quality considerations and other evidence sources.
