Do benefits outweigh risks?
The MHRA's statement that benefits outweigh the risks is a common assessment for many medications. It means that, despite potential side effects or adverse reactions, the positive health outcomes for the majority of patients using the drug are considered greater than the potential harm. This balance is continuously monitored, especially with new data like the Yellow Card reports.
