Do the following

It is recommended that the notification of adverse reactions be made via the electronic service channel. The use of the service channel requires a Fimnet ID or an ID issued by Fimea, which can be retrieved from vethava[at]fimea.fi. The notification of adverse effects can also be made using a form to be completed on Fimea's website (dot form). The form will be emailed to vethava[at]fimea.fi. The form can also be printed (PDF form), completed manually and sent by post to the address indicated on the form.

To whom and on what terms

Adverse reactions may be reported by veterinarians, users of the medicinal product, marketing authorisation holders and pharmacies. The notification may be made whenever a suspected adverse reaction has arisen in connection with the use of the veterinary medicinal product, in particular where there is a suspected adverse reaction which is not indicated in the package leaflet of the veterinary medicinal product.
