What people report to the FDA about PURIFIED WATER
The FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) collects reports from patients and clinicians. It holds 43 reports naming PURIFIED WATER — the active ingredient in Pur-Wash, and the FDA flagged 77% 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:
- depressed mood3 reports
- interstitial lung disease3 reports
- oesophagitis3 reports
- thrombocytopenia3 reports
- affect lability2 reports
- drug hypersensitivity2 reports
- eye irritation2 reports
- febrile neutropenia2 reports
Read these as a signal, not a rate. A report does not mean PURIFIED WATER 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.
