Cquest29 Jun, 2021Technology

The FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) is a publicly available database containing information on adverse events and medication error reports submitted to FDA. FAERS public dashboard is user-friendly as it offers data based on query in the form of information and charts. The data is also searchable based on product or timeframe. The data from FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) is available readily to the public in various forms, including highly interactive web-based FAERS dashboard, extracted FAERS data files of individual case safety reports from FAERS database, and individual safety files that can be acquired through a Freedom of Information (FOI) request to FDA.
