What people report to the FDA about DEZOCINE
The FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) collects reports from patients and clinicians. It holds 96 reports naming DEZOCINE — the active ingredient in Dalgan, and the FDA flagged 99% 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:
- blood glucose increased14 reports
- blood urea increased13 reports
- lymphocyte count decreased12 reports
- pyrexia11 reports
- anaemia10 reports
- neutrophil count increased10 reports
- haemoglobin decreased9 reports
- respiratory depression9 reports
Read these as a signal, not a rate. A report does not mean DEZOCINE 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.
