What people report to the FDA about SODIUM IODIDE I-131
The FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) collects reports from patients and clinicians. It holds 1,799 reports naming SODIUM IODIDE I-131 — the active ingredient in Sodium Iodide I 131, 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:
- hypothyroidism1,087 reports
- endocrine ophthalmopathy51 reports
- treatment failure46 reports
- parathyroid tumour benign33 reports
- hyperthyroidism31 reports
- abortion spontaneous26 reports
- dacryostenosis acquired25 reports
- acute myeloid leukaemia24 reports
Read these as a signal, not a rate. A report does not mean SODIUM IODIDE I-131 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.
