Data on side effects of newly launched drugs are limited, 1 highlighting the need for effective postmarketing surveillance. An inverted black triangle (.) on product literature identifies new products. Suspected adverse reactions to these drugs, however minor, should be reported to the Committee on Safety of Medicines through the yellow card scheme. 2 Adverse reactions are underreported, 3 and few doctors in the United Kingdom know the meaning of the “black triangle” symbol. 4 We assessed the degree of underreporting of suspected adverse reactions to new drugs in general practice and determined if reporting varied when reactions were severe or previously unrecognised.
