Objective:

To analyze adverse events associated with neuraminidase inhibitor (NAI) use in pregnant women using the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) database.

Key Findings:
  • 3,687 adverse drug event reports were retrieved, including 3,211 for oseltamivir and 471 for zanamivir.
  • Significant adverse events for oseltamivir included proctitis, infantile acne, congenital intestinal obstruction, and placental necrosis.
  • For zanamivir, significant adverse events included delivery complications, bronchospasm, and pneumothorax.
Interpretation:

Remove unsupported conclusions about the findings supporting the use of neuraminidase inhibitors.

Limitations:
  • The study relies on the completeness and accuracy of the FAERS database.
  • Potential underreporting or misclassification of adverse events may affect the results.
Conclusion:

Revise to eliminate unsupported claims regarding safety and clinical decision-making.
