2007 Drug ADE Comparison


FDA/CVM Cumulative Adverse Drug Experiences Summaries.

As you may know, the format of the Cumulative Report was changed after 2005. According to the FDA/CVM it was for "openness and transparency" (easier to read/understand) . Due to this upgrade, there was not a December 2005 or January 2006 report.

Veterinarians and caregivers are encouraged to make reports. There is also a Glossary of terminology.

The chart below is a summary by chemical (alphabetically) name of the drugs that appear to be the most commonly requested. The numbers are 'possible, probable or definitely related' for a category of drug, route of administration and species.

Some of the differences noticed are: 'Died' use to be a total of deaths possibly related, now it is broken down into 'death' and 'euthanize'. It use to be 'reacted' and apparently is now 'evaluated'.

There are interesting charts in the May/June 2001 FDA Veterinarian on page 11. FDA/CVM 1999 Adverse Drug Event Reports - A Descriptive Overview. i.e. 1992 - 1,011 reports were made yet in 1999 - 9,731 were .

 

ED note December 2007 : as of the December '07 FDA/CVM Cumulative report, they no longer give numbers for each sign. Here you can find the top 20 reported reactions to each drug as of that date.
