6 ADVERSE REACTIONS Injection site pain occurred with administration based on a review of the published literature. ( 6.2 ) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact The Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research at 516-562-1052 or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch . 6.1 Clinical Trials Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice. No adverse reactions have been reported for Fluorodopa F 18 Injection based on an open-label clinical trial in 68 patients [see Clinical Studies ( 14 ) ] and additional clinical experience in 53 patients. 6.2 Postmarketing Experience The following adverse reactions have been identified during post approval of use of Fluorodopa F 18 Injection outside of the United States. Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure.
