FDA updates veterinary adverse drug experience reports

Rockville, Md.

-- Veterinary adverse Drug Experience (ADE) reports have been updated by the Food and Drug Administration's Center for Veterinary Medicine.

ADE reports are created so that veterinarians can have easily available access to information about signs that have been associated with drug use, the agency reports.

FDA lists the active ingredient of a drug so the user can see if particular signs associated with adverse reactions have been reported. These signs are listed in order of frequency from most frequently observed to least frequently observed, FDA says.

The online Greenbook is available at FDA's Web site.
