What people report to the FDA about CLOXACILLIN SODIUM
The FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) collects reports from patients and clinicians. It holds 355 reports naming CLOXACILLIN SODIUM — the active ingredient in Tegopen, 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:
- acute kidney injury24 reports
- rash22 reports
- pyrexia21 reports
- neutropenia20 reports
- gastrointestinal haemorrhage17 reports
- nausea16 reports
- psoriasis16 reports
- haemoglobin decreased14 reports
Read these as a signal, not a rate. A report does not mean CLOXACILLIN SODIUM 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.
