For drug-induced adverse ocular events, there is little true science after the drug reaches the marketplace, so the percentage of incorrect conclusions may be high. Clinicians should be wary of reports of adverse ocular effects until data are confirmed by multiple authors over the long-term. Even so, spontaneous reports from postmarketing surveillance databases may be the first and only signal of an adverse ocular event.","is_dataset_classified":null,"base_score":3.5553480614894135,"endowment":3.5553480614894135,"datacite_reuse_total":0,"file_count":0,"downloads":0,"views":0,"has_version_chain":false,"is_dataset":false,"is_oa":false,"pmid":"17188050","pmcid":null,"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W1981677100","authors":[],"funders":[],"total_grants":0,"fwci":2.2942,"citation_percentile":0.85061425,"influential_citations":0,"citation_trend":[{"year":2013,"count":3},{"year":2014,"count":3},{"year":2015,"count":3},{"year":2016,"count":1},{"year":2020,"count":4},{"year":2022,"count":3},{"year":2023,"count":1},{"year":2024,"count":2},{"year":2025,"count":2}],"oa_status":"closed","license":"https://www.elsevier.com/legal/tdmrep-license","oa_locations":[{"url":"https://api.elsevier.com/content/article/PII:S0002939406011421?httpAccept=text/xml","host_type":"publisher"},{"url":"https://api.elsevier.com/content/article/PII:S0002939406011421?httpAccept=text/plain","host_type":"publisher"},{"url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ajo.2006.10.005","host_type":"journal"},{"url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17188050","host_type":"repository"}],"fields_of_study":["Pharmacovigilance and Adverse Drug Reactions","Drug-Induced Ocular Toxicity","Pharmaceutical Quality and Counterfeiting","Adverse Drug Reaction Reporting Systems","Amiodarone","Chloramphenicol","Databases, Factual","Drug-Related Side Effects and Adverse Reactions","Humans","Optic Nerve Diseases","Paraproteinemias","Piperazines","Product Surveillance, Postmarketing","Purines","Retrospective Studies","Sildenafil Citrate","Sulfones"],"mesh_terms":["Sildenafil Citrate","Amiodarone","Chloramphenicol","Humans","Optic Nerve Diseases","Paraproteinemias","Piperazines","Product Surveillance, Postmarketing","Purines","Retrospective Studies","Sulfones","Databases, Factual","Adverse Drug Reaction Reporting Systems","Drug-Related Side Effects and Adverse Reactions"],"keywords":["Postmarketing surveillance","Medicine","Adverse effect","Dyscrasia","Pharmacovigilance","Drug","Adverse drug reaction","Intensive care medicine","MEDLINE","Pharmacology","Internal medicine"],"sdg_mappings":[{"sdg_number":0,"sdg_label":"Good health and well-being"}],"linked_datasets":[],"clinical_trials":[],"software_tools":[],"database_accessions":[],"source":"live","citation_network_status":"fetched"},"created_at":"2026-08-05T20:21:35.310704Z","pmid":null,"pmcid":null,"fwci":null,"citation_percentile":null,"influential_citations":0,"oa_status":null,"license":null,"views":0,"total_file_size_bytes":0,"version_count":0,"fair_f":null,"fair_a":null,"fair_i":null,"fair_r":null,"fair_zscore":null,"fair_rationale":null,"fair_model":null,"fair_agent_version":null,"fair_fulltext_source":null,"fair_has_llm":null,"fair_computed_at":null,"clinical_trials":[],"software_tools":[],"db_accessions":[],"linked_datasets":[],"topics":[]}
