Is that a US thing? Because I’m looking at the small-print paper thingie that came (has to come) with a moderately dramatic prescription drug, and it has:
“Side effects:
very frequent ( ≥ 10%): ...
frequent ( ≥ 1% and < 10%): ...
infrequent ( ≥ 0.1% and < 1%): ...
rare ( ≥ 0.01% and < 0.1%): ...
very rare ( < 0.01%): ...
The following side effects were observed after this drug was released to market. The incidence rate is considered to be unknown, as it cannot be estimated from the available data.
...”
(This seems especially weird because I expect most of the data to have come from FDA submissions.)
