What people report to the FDA about CEFOPERAZONE SODIUM

The FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) collects reports from patients and clinicians. It holds 1,767 reports naming CEFOPERAZONE SODIUM — the active ingredient in Cefobid in Plastic Container, and the FDA flagged 98% 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:

  • platelet count decreased124 reports
  • pyrexia113 reports
  • pneumonia109 reports
  • hepatic function abnormal88 reports
  • coagulopathy78 reports
  • rash71 reports
  • anaemia68 reports
  • white blood cell count decreased67 reports

Read these as a signal, not a rate. A report does not mean CEFOPERAZONE SODIUM 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.
