Pimples: low death-coded share in the FDA AER plate

Signature read: 2 death-coded reports is a thin tail count for Pimples in the CVM extract. Report volume sits in the middle third of the reaction corpus. Death-coded share is lower-third: 2 of 62 reports (3.2% of named reports). Nearest volume peer: Application site tingling (±0 reports). Lead species Dog (55). Lead co-reported drug Milbemycin Oxime + Spinosad (13).

Read these counts as reporting volume, not risk: per our methodology, Lead co-reported drug Milbemycin Oxime + Spinosad 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.
