PG - 437-447 LID - 10.2217/cer-2017-0006 [doi] AB - AIM: Patient-reported outcomes associated with adverse events (AEs) reported with generics have not been evaluated. To map AEs associated with generics to the NIH Patient-reported Outcomes Measurement Information System. METHODS: We mapped 381 AEs from 148 case reports of generic tamsulosin, levothyroxine and amphetamine/dextroamphetamine to the physical, mental and social domain of the NIH Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System after reviewing 1237 case reports in the US FDA's Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS; 2011-2013). RESULTS: 75%, 76% and 71% reports were classified under the physical domain for tamsulosin, levothyroxine and amphetamine/dextroamphetamine, while 9%, 9% and 18% reports were classified under the mental domain, respectively. CONCLUSION: FAERS reveals several domains of patient-relevant concerns associated with generic drugs.
