FDA Drug Adverse Events Reporting System FAERS 2017

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.

The use of John Snow Labs datasets is free for personal and research purposes. For commercial use please subscribe to the Data Library  on AWS. The subscription will allow you to use all John Snow Labs datasets and data packages for commercial purposes.
