Novobiocin: adverse event reports in all combinations
Active ingredient, alone and in combinations
Brand names with this ingredient: Albamix Feed Medication.
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.

From February 1990 to April 2024, FDA received 91 adverse event reports that name a drug with novobiocin, alone or in a combination. 2 sets of active ingredients with novobiocin have a drug page.
Of the 91 reports, 28 (30.8%) are about cattle. 18 reports are about dogs (19.8%). In January to March 2026, FDA received no reports that name novobiocin, alone or in a combination. The signs that appear in the largest number of the 91 reports are "Death" and "Residues in milk". A report is not proof that a drug caused a sign.
Fewer than 20 reports named this ingredient in the 12 months before June 2026, so this page gives no change. Reports about cattle are 30.8% of the reports that name this ingredient, and 2.3% of all reports.
Search engines list an ingredient page with 500 reports or more in all years. The page also needs 30 reports or more in the 12 months to June 2026. This page is under one of these numbers. The site keeps the page and keeps it out of search engines.

Drug pages with novobiocin
A report names a drug by its set of active ingredients. Each set with novobiocin that has a drug page is in the table, in order of name. The table has 2 sets.
| Active ingredients | Reports, all years | Reports, latest 12 months |
|---|---|---|
| Novobiocin + Penicillin G Procaine | 54 | 0 |
| Novobiocin + Prednisolone + Tetracycline | 26 | 0 |
A report can name more than one set, so the counts of the sets can add to more than the count of the page.
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.
