Bismuth Subnitr Intramammary Adverse Event Insights
The FDA Center for Veterinary Medicine database currently holds 13 adverse event reports referencing Bismuth Subnitr Intramammary, including 11 reports in which the animal died — a 8460.0% case-fatality figure among reported events only, not a population-level mortality rate. Active ingredient on file: Bismuth Subnitr Intramammary. Reported administration route is Intramammary. These numbers reflect voluntary submissions from pet owners, veterinarians, and manufacturers and therefore under-represent mild events and over-represent severe ones — a pattern the FDA has documented repeatedly for pharmacovigilance datasets.
The species most frequently named in Bismuth Subnitr Intramammary reports are Cattle (13 reports), with Cattle accounting for the largest share. Within those species, Holstein-Friesian also known as Holstein (6), Cattle (other) (6), Jersey (1) appear most often — though breed popularity and ownership density shape these counts as much as any drug-specific sensitivity. This distribution matters because the same active ingredient can behave very differently across body sizes, ages, and species physiology.
The most commonly reported clinical signs associated with Bismuth Subnitr Intramammary are Death (10), Mastitis NOS (6), Lack of efficacy (bacteria) - NOS (4), Mammary gland oedema (2). Of the 19 reports with a coded outcome, Died is the leading category at 52.6%. Because FDA adverse event data describes correlation rather than causation, these figures are best used to frame informed questions with a veterinarian and to compare reporting patterns across related products — not as a standalone safety verdict on Bismuth Subnitr Intramammary.
