药物对健康有重要的益处，但也可能带来危害。当出现新的安全问题时，国家监管机构会向卫生专业人员和公众发出警告。这些警告因国家而异，但没有研究比较不同方法的有效性。这项研究比较了澳大利亚、加拿大、美国和欧盟的药品安全建议，以确定如何最好地保护公众健康。

Medicines have important health benefits but can also lead to harm. When new safety concerns arise, national regulatory agencies issue warnings to health professionals and the public. These warnings differ between countries, but no research has compared the effectiveness of different approaches. This study compares safety advisories on medicines in Australia, Canada, the United States, and the European Union in order to identify how to best protect public health.
