Adverse Event¶

Use adverse-event commands for FDA safety surveillance across three datasets:

FAERS reports,
recall notices,
device events.

Search FAERS reports¶

By drug:

biomcp search adverse-event --drug pembrolizumab --limit 5

Serious reports only:

biomcp search adverse-event --drug pembrolizumab --serious --limit 5

Reaction-focused filter:

biomcp search adverse-event --drug pembrolizumab --reaction pneumonitis --limit 5

Search recall notices¶

biomcp search adverse-event --type recall --drug metformin --limit 5

Classification filter:

biomcp search adverse-event --type recall --drug metformin --classification "Class I" --limit 5

Search device events (MAUDE)¶

biomcp search adverse-event --type device --device "insulin pump" --limit 5

Manufacturer filter:

biomcp search adverse-event --type device --manufacturer Medtronic --limit 5

Product-code filter:

biomcp search adverse-event --type device --product-code PQP --limit 5

--manufacturer and --product-code are valid only with --type device.

Get a report by ID¶

biomcp get adverse-event 10222779

Report resolution is source-aware and returns the corresponding markdown format.

Request report sections¶

Section	Description
`reactions`	Adverse reactions reported
`outcomes`	Reaction outcomes (death, hospitalization, etc.)
`concomitant`	Concomitant medications
`guidance`	Safety guidance and labeling
`all`	Include all sections

biomcp get adverse-event 10222779 reactions outcomes
biomcp get adverse-event 10222779 all

Helper commands¶

There is no direct adverse-event <helper> family. Use biomcp drug adverse-events <name> when you want the inbound drug pivot into this safety surface.

JSON mode¶

biomcp --json get adverse-event 10222779

Practical tips¶

Include drug generic names for better FAERS recall.
Treat counts as signal, not incidence estimates.
Validate serious findings through full source documents when needed.
