FAQPage Schema

How do I query drug adverse events across multiple pharmacovigilance sources?▼

Query drug adverse events across OnSIDES, OffSIDES, and KidSIDES sources using a REST API to retrieve structured results including ingredient, effect, meddra_id, source, and signal metrics. It supports both per-drug and batch queries for comprehensive ADR coverage.

Can I evaluate pediatric and adult safety signals for the same drug in one query?▼

Yes, evaluate safety signals for both adult and pediatric populations using a single query. The tool retrieves adverse event data from OnSIDES for adults and KidSIDES for pediatric populations simultaneously, providing comprehensive pharmacovigilance coverage.

How do I explore off-label adverse drug reactions using nSIDES data?▼

Explore off-label adverse drug reactions by querying OffSIDES through the REST API. This retrieves structured ADR data including ingredient, effect, meddra_id, and signal metrics specifically for off-label use cases.

What signal metrics are returned when retrieving drug side effects?▼

Signal metrics are returned alongside ingredient, effect, meddra_id, and source data when querying drug side effects. These metrics support safety signal evaluation tasks across adult, pediatric, and off-label pharmacovigilance scenarios.

Does this drug safety tool require any external dependencies or API keys?▼

No external dependencies are required. The tool operates independently to query the nSIDES REST API, retrieving structured adverse event results from OnSIDES, OffSIDES, and KidSIDES without needing additional components or modules.
