From the label: adverse reactions, continued

The most common adverse reactions (incidence ≥3%) were nasopharyngitis, bleeding, headache, nausea and abdominal pain. ( 6.1 ) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation at 1-888-669-6682 or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch. 6.1 Clinical Trials Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse drug reaction (ADR) rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice. The safety of RHAPSIDO was based on a pooled safety population from two identical clinical trials of 52 weeks duration, REMIX-1 and REMIX-2 [see Clinical Studies (14)]. The pooled safety population consisted of 912 adult patients with CSU who remain symptomatic despite H1 antihistamine treatment and who received RHAPSIDO 25 mg orally twice daily (N=606) or placebo (N=306) for 24 weeks during the double-blind, controlled treatment period of the trial. Adverse reactions that occurred at an incidence greater than or equal to 3% and more common than the placebo group from the pooled safety population (REMIX-1 and REMIX-2) during the 24-week blinded, placebo-controlled treatment period are shown in Table 1.

What do FAERS reports show?

972 reports list remibrutinib among the medicines taken, each a report of something that happened, not proof the medicine caused it; 0 are coded as a death and 22 as a hospital stay. Counts follow how widely a medicine is used and watched, and they are not a measure of how risky it is. Of the 18 reactions below, 6 are named by the same term (in US spelling) in the label's adverse reactions, warnings or patient leaflet; a reaction the label does not name may still be there under another word, and a report does not show that the medicine caused it.
