Abstract
The distribution of cases into serious and non-serious ADRs has been one to four throughout the period under study, but with large variations. Analysis of selected ADR cases shows that the system lacked the potential to capture available knowledge. Consequently the ADR reports have had limited value and significance in the process of creating scientific knowledge. Thus, the analysis questions the way available data can become explicit as a basis for regulatory decisions and whether all data can become knowledge, including who decides what knowledge is.
