Medical side effects or adverse events: If you believe that you have experienced any medical side effects or reactions from a Novartis product, you should consult your physician, pharmacist or other healthcare professional immediately. You can also report these to us directly using the information found on www.Novartis.com.

We suggest sharing as little personal information as possible on the Facebook Page, especially sharing any specific data concerning your personal health should be avoided. Should you, however, decide to include a post detailing any side effects, Novartis may need to contact you to find out more information.

Storing and using private information: We do not aim to store or use your Facebook profile unique ID, email, or other personal details.

However, in case of an adverse event or product issue you report to us, we'd need to store and use identifying information about you, such as your name, location, health-related information, or similar in accordance with the applicable laws. This information is required to be submitted to the Novartis Drug Safety department and/or regulatory authorities. In such case, we are also required to store your personal data for 5 years for auditing purposes. Please kindly note that we are using third-party service providers to help us manage your comments and messages which means that they too would have access to any personal information you share with us. Such third-party service providers are contractually bound to ensure an adequate protection and security of your personal information.
