What problem does it solve?
Users often ask about drug safety or interactions without providing critical context such as the user's age group, existing medications, current symptoms, or underlying health conditions, which can lead to inaccurate or unsafe advice. This skill eliminates that risk by enforcing a mandatory interview to collect all necessary context before accessing any official drug data.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Mandatory pre-consultation interview: Automatically prompts users to share critical details including who is taking the drug (adult, child, pregnant person, elderly), current medications, dosage history, existing symptoms, and red flag emergency signs before providing any information.
- Official MFDS data lookup: Retrieves verified public drug information including efficacy, usage instructions, warnings, interactions, side effects, and storage guidelines via the k-skill-proxy for South Korean medications.
- Emergency red flag handling: Immediately directs users with severe symptoms like breathing difficulty, loss of consciousness, severe rash, or persistent vomiting to emergency services instead of providing drug-related information.
- Use case example: A parent asking if acetaminophen and a cold medicine can be taken together will first be asked about the child's age, current medications, and symptom severity before any interaction data is shared.
Quick Start
Ask the mfds-drug-safety skill if acetaminophen and a specific cold medicine are safe to take together for your 7-year-old child who has a mild rash.
