DrugCite cannot and does not take into consideration every possible interaction or account for individual responses to medicine. Different individuals may respond to medication in different ways. The absence of a warning for a given drug or drug combination in no way should be construed to indicate that the drug or drug combination is safe, effective, or appropriate for any given patient. Always seek the advice of a qualified health provider with any questions you may have before making any changes to your treatment. The use of DrugCite and its content is at your own risk.

By using DrugCite users agree and understand:

  1. Potential risks highlighted by drug safety analysis must be balanced against the clinical benefit attained by the use of a pharmaceutical product in a given clinical situation. Nothing in these analyses is intended to influence the practice of medicine, nor to weigh the benefits of one product over another.
  2. Whether the reporting ratio of an adverse event is high enough to influence the decision to use a given product or products can only be determined by a complete analysis of the benefits, risks, and therapeutic alternatives.
  3. Use of the publicly available FAERS data does not imply endorsement or agreement of the findings by the FDA Center for Drug Evaluation and Research.
  4. There are many factors that can influence how the adverse events are reported in the FAERS database and may impact the resulting safety signal. These include but are not limited to: publicity and media attention, litigation, length of time drug is on the market, whether the event in question has been previously attributed to the drug, the source of the report, etc.
  5. FAERS data must often be "cleaned" prior to analysis. This process may include de-duplication, reconciliation of misspelled product names, mapping of adverse events terms, and other manipulations which could introduce bias into the analysis.
