Abnormal number of offspring Reaction Insights

46 reports name Abnormal number of offspring; 6 recorded a death outcome (13.0% of reported events, not a population-level mortality rate). VeDDRA code: 1912.

Most co-reported drugs: Sometribove (18 reports), Monensin Sodium (9 reports), Fluralaner Chew Tablets (8 reports), Spinosad (5 reports).

Read these counts as reporting volume, not risk: per our methodology, co-reporting reflects temporal association captured in voluntary submissions, not proof that a drug caused this reaction. A widely-prescribed drug will rack up more raw co-reports at an identical true rate than a rarely-used one, so compare within similar-exposure products.
