Injection site granuloma: low death-coded share in the FDA AER plate

Signature read: Injection site granuloma's 2.6% death-coded share is among the lowest in the openFDA reaction corpus. Report volume sits in the middle third of the reaction corpus. Death-coded share is lower-third: 4 of 151 reports (2.6% of named reports). Nearest volume peer: Bulging eye (±0 reports). Lead species Dog (109). Lead co-reported drug Moxidectin (41).

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