What people report to the FDA about NITROUS OXIDE
The FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) collects reports from patients and clinicians. It holds 2,686 reports naming NITROUS OXIDE — the active ingredient in Nitrous Oxide, Usp, and the FDA flagged 93% 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:
- bradycardia140 reports
- hypotension137 reports
- anaesthetic complication neurological125 reports
- subacute combined cord degeneration87 reports
- tachycardia71 reports
- pulmonary oedema66 reports
- vomiting65 reports
- hyperthermia malignant63 reports
Read these as a signal, not a rate. A report does not mean NITROUS OXIDE 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.
