Where the data come from

Questions about these reports

Which brand are these reports about?

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. The Green Book section of this page lists brand names with this active ingredient.

Do the reports show that the ingredient caused the signs?

No. A report can name more than one drug, and a drug can have more than one active ingredient. FDA states this about the data.

When looking at the results, be aware that there is no certainty that the reported drug or device caused the adverse event.

The adverse event may have been related to an underlying disease, other drugs used at the same time or other non-drug related sources.
