FDA received 17,019 drug adverse event reports in June 2007, against 17,792 in the same month a year earlier and a monthly average of 19,856 over the preceding 12 months. The MAUDE device database received 12,412 reports that month (9,411 a year earlier).
The drugs listed most often as suspect products were Celebrex (742), Crestor (413) and OxyContin (370), and the reactions recorded most often were cardiovascular disorder (736), drug ineffective (706) and nausea (677).
Relative to their own average over the preceding 12 months, the drugs whose report count rose most were Atacand (9.8× its average), Opticlik (7.8× its average) and Tamoxifen citrate (7.8× its average). A jump in one month usually reflects a batch of reports from a manufacturer, a publicised event or a new product, not a change in what happens to patients.

FDA states that adverse event reports "represent a small percentage of total usage numbers of a product", that "common products may have a higher number of adverse events due to the higher total number of people using the product", and that the data "by themselves are not an indicator of the safety profile of the drug or biologic."

Questions about June 2007
How many adverse event reports did FDA receive in June 2007?
17,019 drug reports are in the openFDA FAERS release of 28 Sep 2026, and 12,412 device reports in the MAUDE release of 28 Sep 2026. The same month a year earlier has 17,792 drug reports.
Which drugs were listed most often?
Celebrex (742), Crestor (413), OxyContin (370), Seroquel (366) and Lantus (302).
Which reactions were recorded most often?
cardiovascular disorder (736), drug ineffective (706), nausea (677), dyspnoea (581) and vomiting (536).
Can the count for a month still change?
Yes. FDA releases FAERS data quarterly, so the newest months are incomplete and grow in later releases. Older months change little.
Does a busy month mean something happened that month?
Not by itself. The date is when FDA received the report, not when the event occurred, and volume follows manufacturer batches, product launches and publicity. FDA states that "a causal relationship cannot be established between product and reactions listed in a report" and that for any given report "there is no certainty that a suspected drug caused the event."
Where this comes from. Counts are built from the openFDA Drug Adverse Event (FAERS) bulk export released 28 Sep 2026, which holds reports FDA received through 30 Jun 2026. Drug names are as reported, resolved to the brand or generic name on the FDA label where openFDA's harmonisation matched them; classes are the pharmacologic class (EPC) from the label and the National Drug Code Directory of 17 Sep 2026. No report narrative, lot number, patient detail or reporter identity is published. See the methodology and sources; FDA's record is authoritative, and corrections are handled within five working days.
