- Category: Regulatory
- Evidence stage: Evidence stage not applicable
- Certainty: Certainty not assessed
- Applies to: Recipient: Recipient not specified; Population: Not stated in the fetched FDA records. They name a product and a sponsor and give no intended population or indication for the original approval.; Care setting: Not stated in the FDA records; Geography: United States (decision by the US Food and Drug Administration); Life stage: Not stated in the FDA records; Gestational age: Not reported; Postnatal age: Not reported; Follow-up: Not applicable (regulatory decision)
- Limitations: This claim records the original approval and the fields the records give. The records fetched carry no indication text for the original approval, so the claim does not say what the medicine was approved to treat then. The openFDA record also lists later submissions, mostly supplements, and the fetched records do not say which of them changed the approved uses, including for heart failure. Current labelling was not read. An approval is not a finding about how well the medicine works. openFDA's own disclaimer says not to rely on it for decisions about medical care.
