You responded that you have sustained a drug injury.
If your injury was caused by drugs that you purchased in a shop or over the counter at a pharmacy, we will always consider the claim to be a drug injury, rather than a patient injury. Your compensation claim will then be dealt with in accordance with the specific rules relating to drug liability set out in the Product Liability Act. In such cases, you must fill in an injury notification form concerning drug injuries when you report the case to us.
For an injury you think is related to a vaccine, please use the claim form for patient injury, not the form concerning drug injury.
If your injury was caused by the use of drugs provided by health personnel, you can also report the case as a patient injury. If you wish to apply for compensation for both side effects to drugs and failure of treatment, you must complete an NPE claim form.
If you are not sure which form to use, please select the claim form for patient injuries.
