What the FDA AER plate says about High ionized calcium (Ca; Hypercalcemia, ionized)

Signature read: 27 death-coded reports is the most distinctive absolute-outcome stamp on High ionized calcium (Ca; Hypercalcemia, ionized). Report volume sits in the middle third of the reaction corpus. 27 of 153 reports were death-coded (17.6% of named reports, not a population mortality rate). Nearest volume peer: Application site weeping (see also 'skin') (±1 reports). Lead species Dog (97). Lead co-reported drug Bexagliflozin (26).

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