About this FactMed analysis covering adverse side effect reports of ACAI patients who developed EXCORIATION.

FactMed provides MD-approved analysis to help both patients, researchers, and physicians accurately assess the risk profile for more than 20,000 different pharmaceutical products. The below report offers compiled information from Food & Drug Administration and FactMed user submissions. Between January 2004 and October 2012, 3 individuals taking ACAI reported EXCORIATION to the FDA. A total of 25 ACAI drug adverse event reaction reports were made with the FDA during this time period. Often the FDA only receives reports of the most critical and severe cases; these numbers may therefore underrepresent the complication rate of the medication.

Issue	Description / Topic	Timestamp
QUESTION BURNING SENSATION	I have not taken acai berry but have experienced a burning sensation and a tingling "pins and needles" sensation from taking maqui berry capsules. There is very little research on humans on maqui berry's side effects. I am wondering if anyone else has experienced similar. M	2017-05-09 17:39:37
