SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Accessing FDA public databases like FAERS, drug labeling, and food recall enforcement records normally requires navigating the openFDA API directly; this Skill provides ready-made search tools over those datasets with no API key required. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Adverse Event Search: Query FAERS reports by drug name, reaction, or keyword, returning reactions, dosage info, patient demographics, and outcome classifications. - Drug Label Lookup: Search official drug labeling and package inserts by brand name, generic name, or active ingredient for prescribing information and contraindications. - Food Recall Monitoring: Search food recall enforcement actions by product name, company, or reason. - Use Case: A pharmacovigilance researcher investigating reported side effects of metformin can pull the latest FAERS reports with a single query instead of writing custom openFDA API calls. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to search FDA adverse event reports for metformin and summarize the most commonly reported reactions.

FAQPage Schema
How do I search FDA adverse event reports by drug name?

Use the search_drug_events tool with a drug name, reaction, or keyword as the query. It searches the FAERS database and returns reported reactions, dosage information, patient demographics, and outcome classifications.

How to look up drug package inserts and prescribing information?

Use the search_drug_labels tool with a brand name, generic name, or active ingredient. It searches official FDA drug labeling and package inserts, including prescribing information and contraindications.

Does the FDA open data API require an API key?

No API key is required. All data accessed through this Skill is open FDA public data, and the pipeworx gateway endpoint accepts requests without authentication.

Yes, the search_food_recalls tool accepts product name, company, or recall reason as search criteria. It queries FDA food recall enforcement actions and returns matching enforcement records.

What are the limitations of FAERS adverse event data?

FAERS reports are voluntarily submitted and do not prove causation between a drug and a reaction. Report counts reflect reporting frequency, not incidence rates, so results should be interpreted as signals rather than confirmed risks.
