摘要

A method for the post marketing evaluation of a drug, in which a drug is given to a person along with an unique identifier which allows access to a drug evaluation system. The person is presented with one or more questions concerning the effect the drug has had on them and the person's responses are analysed to evaluate the drug. The present invention provides for direct communication between the person taking a drug and those undertaking post marketing evaluation without the involvement of a physician. Furthermore the evaluation may be initiated by the patient who may choose to access the drug evaluation system.
