Reported Outcomes
Outcomes recorded in FAERS reports that included D-129. A single report may involve multiple reactions, each with a different outcome. These categories are defined by FDA reporting guidelines, not by PillSignal.
View outcome data as a table
| Outcome | Reports |
|---|---|
| Other Serious | 36,286 |
| Hospitalization | 32,196 |
| Non-Serious | 13,772 |
| Death | 6,195 |
| Life-Threatening | 4,803 |
| Disability | 1,664 |
Serious outcomes are far more likely to be reported than mild ones, so this overstates how often outcomes are serious. A recorded death does not mean the drug caused it.
Report Volume Over Time
Number of FAERS reports received per quarter for D-129. Changes in volume may reflect shifts in prescribing rates, media attention, or reporting behavior, not changes in the medication's safety profile.
