What the FDA AER plate says about Mouth pain

Signature read: death-coded share at 8.1% is the most distinctive outcome stamp on Mouth pain. Report volume sits in the middle third of the reaction corpus. 13 of 160 reports were death-coded (8.1% of named reports, not a population mortality rate). Nearest volume peer: Belching (±0 reports). Lead species Dog (83). Lead co-reported drug Unspecified (17).

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