§ Mr. Carter-Jonesasked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will produce a table showing the reports of suspected adverse reactions to Tanderil, detailing the main types of reaction and 321W the dates of the reports since the drug was first licensed for use in Great Britain.
§ Dr. VaughanThe main types of adverse reaction associated with Tanderil tablets are set out in the manufacturer's data sheet. In common with other drugs of this type, the data sheet records that gastro-intestinal symptoms and rashes are the most commonly encountered adverse reactions. However, the reaction most commonly reported to the Committee on Safety of Medicines relates to aplastic anaemia, 91 cases of which have been notified since July 1963, the last being in January 1979.
