The FDA’s Patient Safety News (PSN) is a series of monthly video news shows addressing significant approvals, recalls, and safety alerts for prescription drugs and medical devices. Some of the videos contain footage and demonstrations relevant to protecting patients from serious side effects and other unwanted consequences from taking or using these products.
For example, consumers may want to watch the video concerning the recent FDA warning against giving cough and cold medicines to young children.
