Thank you for visiting Medicago’s social media channels. As a company, our purpose is to create and deliver effective responses to emerging global health challenges.

Information about medicines and medical treatment
As a pharmaceutical company, we are not able to advise individual patients about their medical condition and treatment. It is very important that patients are advised by a health professional with knowledge of a patient’s medical and treatment history.
Suspected adverse events
Patient safety is Medicago’s priority. We take all information related to our medicines in development seriously. We have a legal and ethical duty to follow up any reports of adverse events associated with our medicines or vaccines, which in turn assists us with the monitoring of their safety profiles. If you believe you have experienced an adverse event when using one of our products, please contact us to report a possible side effect by calling 1-888-622-6067 (CAN only) or MedInfo.CAN@medicago.com. Or if you prefer, you may contact Health Canada directly through the Canada Vigilance Program at 1-866-234-2345. Non-Canadian visitor?: ask your health professional for more information or contact your local health authority.
Bilingualism
It should be noted that Medicago ensures that all information published on its website and Social Media is systematically in French and English.
