In a randomized comparison of celecoxib and diclofenac plus omeprazole, renal adverse events, including hypertension, peripheral edema, and renal insufficiency, were common and similar in the two groups (105). They occurred in the 24% of the patients who took celecoxib and in 31% of those who took diclofenac plus omeprazole. Among patients with renal impairment at baseline, 51% of those who took celecoxib and 41% of those who took diclofenac plus omeprazole had renal adverse events. Careful monitoring of renal function in patients taking COX-2 inhibitors or traditional NSAIDs is mandatory, especially in high-risk subjects (for example those with pre-existing renal disease, diabetes, or heart failure). 

The 1962 Kefauver-Harris amendments provided further capability to FDA. They set forth the requirements of the IND process. The FDA was empowered, for the first time, to seize a drug and cause it to be withdrawn. Adverse event reporting to FDA became mandatory. Labeling and advertising requirements were clarified, and transferred that responsibility to FDA from the Federal Trade Commission. Inspections of manufacturing sites were also facilitated by these far-reaching amendments.

Untoward vaccine effects are variable, manifesting from injection site irritation, fever, and irritability to encephalopathy, paralysis, and even death. - " " Reporting of certain vaccine adverse events to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) is mandatory.

VAERS reports record adverse events temporally but not necessarily eausally associated with vaccination. 

This describes a situation in which the patient frequently forgets to take his/her medication. Perhaps 50-80% of the prescribed doses (e.g. tablets, capsules) are taken according to instructions. The medication cannot provide its full action, and the patient does not profit fully from treatment. For example, antihypertensives may appear to work when blood pressures are satisfactory at the consultation (a common white coat compliance ), but at other times the patient still has uncontrolled hypertension. These patients may unconsciously or consciously be responding to adverse events, too in some cultures they may be reticent to tell their doctors about this, and in other situations patients may want to avoid being withdrawn from clinical trials. Close treatment history taking is mandatory when such a patient is identified. 

Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Surveillance System. This was developed and is managed by the FDA. As part of this system, all adverse events reports concerning medical products after their formal approval are submitted to the FDA. In the case of medical devices, the device manufacturers report information on items such as deaths, serious injuries, and malfunctions. Furthermore, the device user facilities such as hospitals and nursing homes are required to report deaths to both the FDA and manufacturers and also serious injuries to device manufacturers. In regard to drug-related adverse events, reporting is mandatory for all manufacturers, but it is voluntary for physicians, consumers, and so on [2].
