Application site rash: low death-coded share in the FDA AER plate
Signature read: Application site rash's 0.3% death-coded share is among the lowest in the openFDA reaction corpus. Report volume is upper-third scale: 367 named reports in the openFDA extract. Death-coded share is lower-third: 1 of 367 reports (0.3% of named reports). Nearest volume peer: Administration device NOS, malfunction (±0 reports). Lead species Cat (234). Lead co-reported drug Selamectin;Sarolaner (83).
Read these counts as reporting volume, not risk: per our methodology, Lead co-reported drug Selamectin;Sarolaner appears in filings alongside this reaction; that is association, not causation. Browse the full reactions index or the about page for how PlainBreed frames FDA CVM extracts.
