Where to report an adverse event officially, by region — a second dataset
Reporting here and reporting to a national scheme are not alternatives. The second is what feeds safety surveillance.
Post #11 describes the usual case. This is about the unusual one.
How to document: date, exact symptom or event, severity, duration, outcome, any medical attention sought. Detailed documentation is far more useful than a vague report.
I have kept the units in throughout, for the obvious reason.
That reframing is the whole thing. The facts I already had.
Adding the measurement that post #33 says would settle it.
The published trial rates come from supervised populations on defined schedules and are not comparable to rates derived from who chooses to post.
That is all the detail I have. Someone else will have more.
On post #45 — agreed on the reasoning, with one qualification.
Medullary thyroid carcinoma is the reason these compounds are contraindicated in people with personal or family history of MTC or multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2. Rodent toxicology showed a signal; human evidence of causation is absent but caution is appropriate.
Nothing here is medical advice, and in this subcategory the phrase is doing more work than in any other on the site.
