What the FDA AER plate says about Internal ear disorder

Signature read: death-coded share at 10.8% is the most distinctive outcome stamp on Internal ear disorder. Report volume sits in the middle third of the reaction corpus. 16 of 148 reports were death-coded (10.8% of named reports, not a population mortality rate). Nearest volume peer: Excess tear flow (±0 reports). Lead species Dog (95). Lead co-reported drug Betamethasone + Florfenicol + Terbinafine (19).

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