Medical writers at EMA have published an “EMA medical terms simplifier” (https://www.ema.europa.eu/en/documents/ot her/ema-medical-terms-simplifier_ en.pdf) on the “Glossaries” page of EMA’s website (under “About us”) to provide public-friendly descriptions of medical terms used for side effects of medicines and mechanisms of action. These descriptions are used daily to prepare EMA materials that are shared with the public. The medical terms simplifier focuses on side effects and other terms used in medicines information and assessments of medicines.
