Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategies (REMS) were created by the FDA to ensure medication safety after drugs come to market. ASHP developed the REMS Resource Center to educate health professionals and patients about REMS and other medications managed via separate risk management programs. The Resource Center provides access to the REMS database where medications are listed alphabetically by generic name as well as other resources that include the FDA medication guide.
