Corrections
A program computes every count from the openFDA files by fixed rules. The page How the site counts reports gives the rules. An error can be in the processing of the site or in the report that FDA holds.
How to report an error
- Send an email to hello@reportedreactions.com.
- Give the address of the page.
- Say which value is wrong and which value you expect.
The site answers in five working days.
Errors in the processing of the site
These are examples:
- A wrong count.
- A brand name matched to the wrong generic name.
- A drug in the wrong class.
- Two spellings of one device that the site did not join.
- A quotation that is not the same as the FDA page.
The site fixes a confirmed error at the next build. It adds an entry to the log below.
Errors in the reports of FDA
The site cannot change a report that FDA holds. It does not edit single reports. When a new release of the FDA files has the change, the site follows.
FDA's MedWatch page tells how to send FDA a new report.
Requests to remove a page
The site makes pages only for product names, drug classes, device brand names, device types, manufacturer names, reaction terms and months. If a page shows a name that reads as the name of a person, the site removes the name when it receives the request. The site answers other requests under this policy.
