/api/v1/reaction/respiratory-failureReference statistics only. FAERS reports are voluntarily submitted and are not incidence rates, safety signals, or causal evidence. The drugs below are ranked by how often this reaction appears on FAERS reports for each drug — high share does not mean the drug caused the reaction, and absence from this list does not mean the reaction never occurred. This is not a symptom checker.
DefinitionNLM MeSH D012131
Failure to adequately provide oxygen to cells of the body and to remove excess carbon dioxide from them. (Stedman, 25th ed)
Source: U.S. National Library of Medicine — MeSH (Respiratory Insufficiency)
Drugs reporting Respiratory Failure (95)
Share = reports listing this reaction ÷ total matched reports for the drug. — means the upstream totals query failed at ingest and the denominator is unknown.
