Ireland's medicines watchdog received 104 reports of patients dying following a particular treatment last year. Most of the reports related to anti-cancer drugs and medicines used to have a calming and sedative effect. The concentration of reports around oncology and sedative therapies suggests a pattern that could require further investigation by regulators, clinicians, and manufacturers. Patient safety signals tied to specific treatment types can trigger safety reviews, updated prescribing guidance, or targeted risk communications. Enhanced monitoring, thorough causality assessment, and timely reporting are important to identify risks and protect patients.
