Practical use

The Yellow Card site is the public-facing reporting system. Marketing-authorisation holders should not assume that submission of a Yellow Card replaces their own statutory pharmacovigilance reporting obligations; company reporting requirements must be followed through the applicable MHRA pharmacovigilance procedures and electronic reporting arrangements.
