Cythioate (Proban): adverse event reports that FDA received

Active ingredient

The name in brackets is a brand name with this active ingredient.

The openFDA records give the value "MSK" for the brand name and for the manufacturer name of each drug. FDA says that MSK means "masked". So the site cannot count a report for a brand.

Read this first. FDA says this about the data:

An API dataset query result cannot be used to estimate the risk associated with the product or compare one drug or device product with another. When looking at the results, be aware that there is no certainty that the reported drug or device caused the adverse event. This dataset should not be the sole source of information for clinical decision-making or other assumptions about the safety or effectiveness of a product. The adverse event may have been related to an underlying disease, other drugs used at the same time or other non-drug related sources.

Contacting a veterinarianHow to report to FDA

From November 1987 to November 1996, FDA received 30 adverse event reports that name a drug with cythioate as its active ingredient. Of the 30 reports, 23 (76.7%) are about dogs. 4 reports are about cats (13.3%).

In January to March 2026, FDA received no reports that name this drug. The signs that appear in the largest number of the 30 reports are "Death", "Vomiting" and "Convulsion". A report is not proof that a drug caused a sign.

This page has fewer than 50 reports. The site keeps the page for its links and keeps it out of search engines.

Since the last update of the FDA data

No update is on record. The record starts when FDA adds the reports of April to June 2026.

January to March 2026 is the latest closed quarter in the data. In that quarter FDA received 0 reports that name cythioate: 0 dog, 0 cat, 0 horse, 0 other or not given.

Where the data come from

The counts come from the openFDA Animal and Veterinary adverse event files, export of 28 Sep 2026. The files have the reports that the FDA Center for Veterinary Medicine received through 31 Mar 2026. The files mask brand and manufacturer names. The site counts a drug by the active ingredients that each record gives, and gives no count to a brand, an application or a company. Ingredient names and the lists of approved products follow the FDA Green Book of 1 Oct 2026. The site does not use the application number that a record has.

The site does not publish report text, lot numbers or details of a reporter. FDA's record is the authority. See how the site counts reports, the data sources and the corrections page.
