Prescribing error Reaction Insights

120 reports name Prescribing error; 8 recorded a death outcome (6.7% of reported events, not a population-level mortality rate). VeDDRA code: 3040.

By species: Dog (94 reports), Cat (23 reports), Horse (2 reports). By breed: Domestic Shorthair (15), Retriever - Labrador (11), Chihuahua (9).

Most co-reported drugs: Bedinvetmab (26 reports), Moxidectin (18 reports), Oclacitinib Maleate (12 reports), Maropitant Citrate (11 reports).

Read these counts as reporting volume, not risk: per our methodology, co-reporting reflects temporal association captured in voluntary submissions, not proof that a drug caused this reaction. A widely-prescribed drug will rack up more raw co-reports at an identical true rate than a rarely-used one, so compare within similar-exposure products.
