What people report to the FDA about AMPHOTERICIN B
The FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) collects reports from patients and clinicians. It holds 15,853 reports naming AMPHOTERICIN B — the active ingredient in Abelcet, and the FDA flagged 96% 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:
- pyrexia850 reports
- multiple organ dysfunction syndrome606 reports
- acute kidney injury577 reports
- sepsis519 reports
- febrile neutropenia507 reports
- respiratory failure487 reports
- septic shock478 reports
- pneumonia472 reports
Read these as a signal, not a rate. A report does not mean AMPHOTERICIN B 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.
