StatusOn Apify Store

Ozempic resolves to semaglutide, and the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) via openFDA ranks its reported reactions: nausea leads, with report_count and share_of_reports for each of the top 10, plus reports_total and serious_reports. FAERS counts reports, not proven causes or incidence; the row carries the openFDA query as source_url.
