What people report to the FDA about trastuzumab-anns
The FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) collects reports from patients and clinicians. It holds 5 reports naming trastuzumab-anns, and the FDA flagged 100% of those reports as serious. The effects reported most often — leaving out reports about overdose, misuse or the condition being treated, which dominate the raw list for common medicines:
- flushing2 reports
- ischaemia2 reports
- oxygen saturation decreased2 reports
- abdominal pain upper1 reports
- back pain1 reports
- blood pressure increased1 reports
- chest discomfort1 reports
- chills1 reports
Read these as a signal, not a rate. A report does not mean trastuzumab-anns caused the effect — anyone can file one, and many describe people taking several medicines for several conditions. Crucially there is no denominator: FAERS does not record how many people took the drug, so these counts cannot be turned into “X% of patients” — a bigger number often just means a more widely used or more talked-about drug. Duplicates exist, and publicity drives reporting. For what is actually established, read the FDA label section above.
