| Certain | Certain | i) Event or laboratory test abnormality, with plausible time relationship to drug intake; ii) Cannot be explained by disease or other drugs; iii) Response to withdrawal plausible (pharmacologically, pathologically); iv) Event definitive pharmacologically or phenomenologically (i.e. an objective and specific medical disorder or a recognized pharmacological phenomenon); or v) Re-challenge satisfactory, if necessary. |
| Probably-Likely | Probably/Likely | i) Event or laboratory test abnormality, with reasonable time relationship to drug intake; ii) Unlikely to be attributed to disease or other drugs; iii) Response to withdrawal clinically reasonable; or iv) Re-challenge not required. |
| Possible | Possible | i) Event or laboratory test abnormality, with reasonable time relationship to drug intake; ii) Could also be explained by disease or other drugs; or iii) Information on drug withdrawal may be lacking or unclear. |
| Unlikely | Unlikely | i) Event or laboratory test abnormality, with a time to drug intake that makes a relationship improbable (but not impossible); or ii) Disease or other drugs provide plausible explanations. |
