  3. Table 6 presents the ranking of the reporting rates (number of ADR reports/number of drug prescriptions) for the five drug substances most frequently reported in the age-stratified analysis of the complete data set (see Table 4)) as well as the reporting rates for females and males. The number of ADR reports for the respective drugs was determined for the time period 01/01/2009–28/02/2019, since substance-specific exposure data were only available for this time
