What people report to the FDA about PEMETREXED
The FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) collects reports from patients and clinicians. It holds 26,007 reports naming PEMETREXED — the active ingredient in Pemetrexed for Injection, 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:
- malignant neoplasm progression2,153 reports
- anaemia1,512 reports
- nausea1,233 reports
- diarrhoea1,226 reports
- neutropenia1,205 reports
- pancytopenia1,111 reports
- thrombocytopenia1,076 reports
- pneumonia946 reports
Read these as a signal, not a rate. A report does not mean PEMETREXED 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.
