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.
