The following tool uses the OpenFDA API to show you data from the top 1000 adverse event reports that have been submitted to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Please note that the total displayed at the top of the results is the total number of reactions – not the total number of reports. For example a single report may contain multiple reactions.
Tip: If you are displaying a large number of results (eg. 1000) and want to search for a particular item, you may be able to use your browser’s “find in page” function. This is usually Ctrl+F on a PC, or Command+F on a Mac. Mobile devices usually have a similar function, although this may vary depending on the browser.
Spreadsheets
To help with your searches, you can download spreadsheets containing the names of all drugs and all reactions used in the FDA database.
