polycystic ovaries, renal disorder, rhinitis allergic, sensitization, sleep apnea syndrome, sleep disorder due to a general medical condition, hypertension, headache, wheezing.Company causality (budesonide): not related.Unassessable: blood test abnormal, full blood count abnormal.Related: headache, therapeutic product effect incomplete.Ferring sender comment: this case contains very limited information.The case lists several events and several suspect products, however does not specify causal relationship between each product and event.Based on the known safety profile of euflexxa all events (except hospitalization and therapeutic product effect incomplete) are considered not related.Concerning budesonide, the indication for use is unknown, as is the administration, dosage etc.The patient has asthma, so it might as well be the indication, as there is no information on gastrointestinal disease.Based on biological plausibility and the known safety profile of budesonide, causality is considered not related for all events except from blood test abnormal, and full blood count abnormal, headache and therapeutic product effect incomplete.Blood test abnormal, and full blood count abnormal is assessed as unassessable due to limited information provided, while headache and therapeutic product effect incomplete is assessed as related to budesonide taking a conservative approach.Updated sender comments upon follow-up 01: no information reported on medical history, therapy dates and event onset dates making difficult to perform a thorough medical evaluation.Due to clinical interpretation in alignment with known safety profile, company causality is considered not related to euflexxa for the reported events as there is no clinical evidence, but might most likely related to confounding diseases as per the numerous concomitant medication reported.Other case numbers: (b)(4).This aes occurred in canada and concerns the medical device euflexxa.Please report to your local health authority if required by local law.This ae is not reportable in eu because it did not occur in a eu + efta country and did not result in a corrective action by the manufacturer.No corrective action was done by the manufacturer or requested by regulators.Additional information was received on 27-sep-2022 by a physician: follow up 01: new events dypsnea, renal disorder, full blood count abnormal and wheezing were reported.Captured all events as medically significant and hospitalized.Co-suspect drugs added included: budesonide, cyanocobalamin, esomeprazole magnesium trihydrate, formoterol fumarate, hyaluronate sodium, levothyroxine sodium, seawater, sodium bicarbonate, symbicort turbuhaler, tramadol, and vitamin d.Liothyronine sodium formulation (tablet) was added, mometasone route of administration, dose and frequency was added, an additional dosing regiment for mometasone was added, and trazadone formulation was added (tablet).Removed hospitalization as a separate event as per f/u received.This ae occurred in united states and concerns the medical device euflexxa.Please report to your local health authority if required by local law.This ae is not reportable in eu because it does not meet the definition of a medical device incident according to the requirements of the medical device directive/ because it did not occur in a eu + efta country and

disease.Based on biological plausibility and the known safety profile of budesonide, causality is considered not related for all events except from blood test abnormal, hospitalization, full blood count abnormal, adverse event, headache and therapeutic product effect incomplete.A relation between budesonide and blood test abnormal, hospitalization, full blood count abnormal, adverse event is unassessable due to limited information provided.A relation between budesonide and theadache and therapeutic product effect incomplete cannot be excluded.Updated sender comments upon follow-up 01: no information reported on medical history, therapy dates and event onset dates making difficult to perform a thorough medical evaluation.Due to clinical interpretation in alignment with known safety profile, company causality is considered not related to euflexxa for the reported events as there is no clinical evidence, but might most likely related to confounding diseases as per the numerous concomitant medications reported.Other case numbers: internal # - affiliate = (b)(4).Internal # - others = (b)(4).Internal # - others = (b)(4).Internal # - others = (b)(4).Mw 3500a mfr.Rpt.# =

causality (euflexxa): related: therapeutic product effect incomplete, full blood count abnormal.Not related: hospitalization, asthma, blood test abnormal, burning sensation, cardiac disorder, carpal

disorder, rhinitis allergic, sensitization, sleep apnea syndrome, sleep disorder due to a general medical condition, hypertension, headache, wheezing.Company causality (budesonide): not related.Unassessable: blood test abnormal, hospitalization, headache, full blood count abnormal.Related: therapeutic product effect incomplete.Ferring sender comment: important information is missing as product indication/concentration, roa, dose, frequency therapeutic dates, medical history, lab data etc.The case lists several events and several suspect products (unknown brand of naha).Based on the well-known safety profile of euflexxa all events are considered not related with exception of 'therapeutic product effect incomplete'' which is more likely related to the rest of reported events.Concerning budesonide, the indication for use is unknown, as is the administration, dosage etc.The patient has asthma, so it might as well be the indication for budesonide, as there is no information on gastrointestinal disease.Based on biological plausibility and the known safety profile of budesonide, causality is considered not related for all events except from blood test abnormal, full blood count abnormal, hospitalization, headache, and therapeutic product effect incomplete.A relation between budesonide and headache, blood test abnormal, full blood count abnormal, and hospitalization is unassessable due to limited information.A relation between budesonide and therapeutic product effect incomplete cannot be excluded.Updated sender comments upon follow-up 01: no
