SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Finding trustworthy FDA regulatory context across drugs, devices, foods, veterinary products, and substances is time-consuming when you must repeatedly search different openFDA endpoints and interpret results manually.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Unified openFDA querying: Retrieve adverse events, labeling, recalls, approvals, and shortage data across multiple FDA categories (drugs, devices, food, animal/veterinary, substances).
  • Targeted evidence gathering: Support safety/pharmacovigilance workflows like adverse-event counts, reaction lookups, and recall monitoring with configurable filters.
  • Substance identifier resolution: Look up molecular/substance records using UNII and related identifiers to connect regulatory substance data to analysis tasks.

Use Case: You need a rapid safety and regulatory snapshot for a drug name—aggregate adverse event totals, identify frequent reaction terms, and pull recent recalls for triage and downstream analysis.

Quick Start

Ask: “Use the fda-database skill to query openFDA drug adverse events for aspirin and return a concise safety summary.”
