Following publication of the original article [1], the authors noticed an error in the values for ‘Hypersensitivity SMQ’ and ‘Rash’ in Table 7. The data presented for ‘Hypersensitivity SMQ’ and ‘Rash’ were inadvertently the events that were potentially hypersensitivity rather than the events that were likely hypersensitivity after medical review. The table legend and discussion of the data in the text were and are correct.
