The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) data package contains information on medication errors, quality complaints and drug-related adverse events that were submitted to FDA in 2020.
FAERS data package is designed to support the FDA's post-marketing safety surveillance program for drug and therapeutic biologic products. It is a useful tool for activities such as looking for new safety concerns that might be related to a marketed product, evaluating a manufacturer's compliance with reporting regulations and responding to outside requests for information. The reports in FAERS are evaluated by clinical reviewers, in the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER) and the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER), to monitor the safety of products after they are approved by FDA. These reports are submitted to FDA by healthcare professionals (such as physicians, pharmacists, nurses and others) and consumers (such as patients, family members, lawyers and others). Healthcare professionals and consumers may also report to the products’ manufacturers who then send these reports to the FDA. The datasets in FAERS data package contain much relevant information such as patient demographics, drug name, dose and route of administration, diagnosis and indication for use, therapy starts and ends date and patient outcome.

This listing uses a single pricing dimension: Product Access (Units). You subscribe once to gain access to the FAERS 2020 dataset at no charge. There are no tiers, instance sizes, or usage add-ons to compare. Because the product is free, the dimension grants access without metering by volume, users, or documents. You run and use the data within your own environment. This flat structure means there is nothing to scale up or down and no consumption-based charges tied to the access unit.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What does one Product Access unit grant me for the FAERS 2020 dataset?
One unit grants your subscription access to the FAERS 2020 dataset. There is no cap on the number of documents, characters, or records you can process. You run and use the data within your own environment, so access is not metered by volume or users.
Does my cost change if my data volume or number of users grows?
No. The product is free, so no consumption-based charges apply. There is no limit on the number of documents, characters, users, or pipelines. Your usage can grow without triggering any cost change, since nothing is metered against the access unit.
Do I have to send my data to the vendor to use this dataset?
No. You install and run the data within your own infrastructure. The software does not call home, and no data or results are sent outside your environment. This design supports high-compliance settings where data must stay within your control.
