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

Signature read: 806 reports place Polyphagia in the upper third of FDA AER volume (#459 of 2,481). Report volume is upper-third scale: 806 named reports in the openFDA extract. Death-coded share is lower-third: 46 of 806 reports (5.7% of named reports). Nearest volume peer: Skin ulcer (±1 reports). Lead species Dog (605). Lead co-reported drug Trilostane (370).

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