Corrections

Every figure on this site is computed from FDA's openFDA files by a fixed procedure described in the methodology. Errors are of two kinds, and they are handled differently.

Errors in this site's processing

A wrong count, a brand matched to the wrong generic name, a drug placed in the wrong class, two spellings of one device not pooled, a page built for a name that is really a person. Email hello@reportedreactions.com with the page address and what is wrong. Requests are acknowledged within five working days; a confirmed error is fixed at the next daily build and the fix is noted here.

Errors in the underlying reports

A report that names the wrong product, a duplicate, a reaction term that does not match what happened. This site cannot change FDA's record and does not edit individual reports. Manufacturers can submit follow-up reports through the usual channels; anyone can write to FDA about a specific report using its safety report identifier via MedWatch. When FDA's next release reflects the change, this site follows.

Removal requests

Pages are built only for product names, pharmacologic classes, device brands, product codes, manufacturer organisations, reaction terms and months. If a page names a natural person, it is removed immediately on request. Other removal requests are answered with this policy.
