Navigate Safety Data with Precision
- 📊 Frequency Filters Most databases list every possible reaction alphabetically. We sort them by Frequency:
- Very Common (>10%)
- Common (1-10%)
- Rare (<0.1%)
- 🚨 Severity Grading Instantly distinguish between a “Nuisance Side Effect” (e.g., dry mouth) and a “Red Flag Warning” (e.g., Stevens-Johnson Syndrome) that requires immediate medical attention.
- ⏱️ Time-to-Onset Know when to expect it. Is this a reaction that happens typically within the first hour, or one that develops after months of chronic use?
- 🔍 Mechanism of Action Understand the why. Our AI explains the physiology (e.g., “This cough is caused by bradykinin accumulation in the lungs, a known effect of ACE inhibitors”).
The AI Difference
From “List of Symptoms” to “Clinical Insight”
Standard leaflets are overwhelming. [Your Tool Name] helps you interpret the data.

- Management Strategies: Get evidence-based tips for mitigation.
- Nausea? “Try taking with food.”
- Insomnia? “Avoid taking the dose after 4 PM.”
- Black Box Warning Highlights: We pull FDA Black Box Warnings to the very top of the page so they are never missed.
Use Cases
Essential for Patients and Providers

Frequently Asked Questions
Side Effects FAQ
Q: If a side effect is listed, will I definitely get it? A: No. Our database lists potential reactions. Most people experience only minor side effects or none at all. Check the “Frequency” tag to see how common it really is.
Q: Can I report a side effect through this tool? A: While we provide information, you should report new or severe adverse effects directly to your doctor or the FDA MedWatch program (links provided in our footer).
Q: Does this cover long-term effects? A: Yes. We differentiate between acute reactions (immediate) and chronic toxicity (long-term use), such as renal impact or bone density changes over years.
