Miguel is attending a regional medical conference. One of the speakers at the conference is a patient who is receiving a Roche medicine for her condition. During the presentation, the patient tells the audience that when she first started taking the medicine she experienced frequent headaches. Because of this, her doctor reduced his dosage and after that, her headaches went away.
Miguel must report this potential side effect because the new information may impact the safety profile of the medicine.
