What the FDA AER plate says about Facial nerve disorder

Signature read: 25 death-coded reports is the most distinctive absolute-outcome stamp on Facial nerve disorder. Report volume sits in the middle third of the reaction corpus. 25 of 144 reports were death-coded (17.4% of named reports, not a population mortality rate). Nearest volume peer: Female reproductive tract disorder NOS (±0 reports). Lead species Dog (125). Lead co-reported drug Florfenicol + Mometasone Furoate + Terbinafine Hydrochloride (21).

Read these counts as reporting volume, not risk: per our methodology, Lead co-reported drug Florfenicol + Mometasone Furoate + Terbinafine Hydrochloride appears in filings alongside this reaction; that is association, not causation.
