What people report to the FDA about POTASSIUM PERCHLORATE
The FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) collects reports from patients and clinicians. It holds 98 reports naming POTASSIUM PERCHLORATE — the active ingredient in Perchloracap, and the FDA flagged 94% 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:
- activated partial thromboplastin time prolonged37 reports
- general physical health deterioration36 reports
- myasthenia gravis36 reports
- somnolence36 reports
- drug hypersensitivity35 reports
- multiple organ dysfunction syndrome35 reports
- sepsis35 reports
- diabetes mellitus34 reports
Read these as a signal, not a rate. A report does not mean POTASSIUM PERCHLORATE 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.
