What a report is
A report is not proof that the drug was the cause of the event.
FDA says:
Adverse event reports submitted to FDA do not undergo extensive validation or verification. Therefore, a causal relationship cannot be established between product and reactions listed in a report. While a suspected relationship may exist, it is not medically validated and should not be the sole source of information for clinical decision making or other assumptions about the safety or efficacy of a product. Additionally, it is important to remember that adverse event reports represent a small percentage of total usage numbers of a product. Common products may have a higher number of adverse events due to the higher total number of people using the product.

FDA also says:
There is no certainty that the reported event (adverse event or medication error) was actually due to the product. FDA does not require that a causal relationship between a product and event be proven, and reports do not always contain enough detail to properly evaluate an event. The information in these reports has not been scientifically or otherwise verified as to a cause and effect relationship and cannot be used to estimate the incidence of these events.

Do not rely on openFDA to make decisions regarding medical care. While we make every effort to ensure that data is accurate, you should assume all results are unvalidated.

Reports on file
From October 2004 to July 2021, FDA received 722 adverse event reports that name Factor Viii. The name is as reporters wrote it. In these reports the drug is a suspect or interacting product.
In the same period, 99 further reports name it only as a concomitant medicine. The counts on this page do not include these reports.
FDA received 0 reports in the 12 months to June 2026 and 0 in the 12 months before. FDA releases FAERS data every quarter, so the newest months are not complete. They grow in later releases.
Reports for male patients were 86.6% of the reports that name Factor Viii and 34.6% of all drug reports.
The number of people who use the product is not in the data. A count is not a rate. A count of reports is not a count of events or of patients, because one event can have more than one report.
There are many instances of duplicative reports and some reports do not contain all the necessary information.

Suspect product
FDA records each drug in a report as suspect, concomitant or interacting. This page counts the reports in which Factor Viii is suspect or interacting. FDA says:
Any number of the drugs may be marked as suspect if thought to be responsible for one or more of the reactions, but that information is not validated.

Data version
openFDA FAERS release of 29 Oct 2026. Reports received through 30 Jun 2026.
Since the last update
FDA says:
Many factors can influence whether or not an event will be reported, such as the time a product has been marketed and publicity about an event.

The latest update of the FDA data, recorded on , changed no count of this page.
FDA received no report that names Factor Viii in April to June 2026, in January to March 2026 or in April to June 2025.
April to June 2026 is the latest closed quarter in the data. A closed quarter is a quarter for which the FDA files have most of the reports.
Reaction lookup
These are the reaction terms that the reports record, with the number of reports for each term. Type a term or a plain word to find its count.
What this list leaves out
The table lists the 11 reaction terms that 5 or more reports record. A term with fewer than 5 reports is not in the table.
The site keeps reaction terms for 687 of the 722 reports (95.2%).
The reports of the other years are not in the counts.
So a count in the table can be lower than the count of FDA.
The table shows all 11 terms.
| Reaction term (MedDRA) and plain meaning | Reports | Share of the 722 reports |
|---|---|---|
| Pharmaceutical product complaint | 552 | 76.5% |
| Adverse eventan unwanted medical event, type not specified | 534 | 74% |
| HIV infection | 64 | 8.9% |
| Hepatitis c virus | 60 | 8.3% |
| Hepatitis Chepatitis C infection | 41 | 5.7% |
| Acquired haemophilia | 25 | 3.5% |
| Therapy partial responder | 24 | 3.3% |
| Pre-existing disease | 23 | 3.2% |
| Therapy responder | 13 | 1.8% |
| Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome | 9 | 1.2% |
| Product use in unapproved indicationused for a purpose not on the label | 5 | 0.7% |
The counts add to more than 722 reports, because one report can record more than one term. FDA says:
No individual drug is connected to any individual reaction. When a report lists multiple drugs and multiple reactions, there is no way to conclude from the data therein that a given drug is responsible for a given reaction.

MedDRA term
The person who codes a report selects the preferred term that agrees best with the description of the reporter. The words under a term are the plain meaning that this site gives.
Not the label
The FDA-approved label of a product lists its adverse reactions. See the official pages at the end of this page.

An outcome in a report is not proof that the drug was the cause. The reporter gives the outcome, and FDA does not verify it. FDA says:
The information in these reports has not been scientifically or otherwise verified as to a cause and effect relationship and cannot be used to estimate the incidence of these events.

The six headings with the names of FDA are the outcome terms of FDA. A report can have more than one outcome. The columns Serious and Not serious are the two values of the openFDA field serious. For the value serious, openFDA gives this description:
The adverse event resulted in death, a life threatening condition, hospitalization, disability, congenital anomaly, or other serious condition

The year is the year of the openFDA file that holds the latest version of the report. It is not always the year in which FDA first received the report. The chart of the next section uses the year of first receipt. The latest year is not complete.

Why a count moves
A count moves for many reasons. The guide gives FDA's words about them.

Where the data come from
The counts come from the openFDA Drug Adverse Event (FAERS) bulk files, release of 29 Oct 2026. The files have the reports that FDA received through 30 Jun 2026. A drug name is the name on the report. The site matches it to a brand name or a generic name of the National Drug Code Directory of 2 Nov 2026. A class is the pharmacologic class (EPC) of the FDA label.
A report is in the count when it names Factor Viii as a suspect or interacting product. The 99 reports that name it only as a concomitant medicine are not in the count. The site does not publish a report narrative, a lot number, a detail of a patient or the identity of a reporter. The record of FDA is the authority. See how the site counts reports, the data sources and the corrections page.
Questions
Do these reports show that Factor Viii was responsible for the reactions?
No. FDA says:
For any given report, there is no certainty that a suspected drug caused the event.

A reaction can relate to the condition that the drug treats, to other medicines, or to something else.
Is this the list of reactions on the label of Factor Viii?
No. It is a count of what people reported to FDA: 722 reports from October 2004 to July 2021. The FDA-approved label of a product lists its adverse reactions. The official pages at the end of this page link to the labels.
Who sent these reports?
Other health professional (9%), lawyer (2.5%) and consumer or non-health professional (1.8%). These are the types of reporter for the reports that name this drug.
If a manufacturer receives an adverse event report, it is normally required to send the report to FDA.

How does a person report an adverse event?
FDA runs MedWatch, a program that takes voluntary reports from health professionals, patients and consumers. The guide on how to report has the links.
