What the FDA AER plate says about Asthma

Signature read: death-coded share at 22.5% is the most distinctive outcome stamp on Asthma. Report volume sits in the middle third of the reaction corpus. 25 of 111 reports were death-coded (22.5% of named reports, not a population mortality rate). Nearest volume peer: Counterfeit product (±0 reports). Lead species Cat (72). Lead co-reported drug Maropitant Citrate (12).

Read these counts as reporting volume, not risk: per our methodology, Lead co-reported drug Maropitant Citrate 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.
