What the FDA AER plate says about Pyrexia

Signature read: 95 death-coded reports is a heavy tail count for Pyrexia in the CVM extract. Report volume is upper-third scale: 640 named reports in the openFDA extract. 95 of 640 reports were death-coded (14.8% of named reports, not a population mortality rate). Nearest volume peer: Pyuria (±0 reports). Lead species Dog (373). Lead co-reported drug Imidacloprid + Moxidectin (114).

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