Acceptance of Terms
By accessing and using drugfactcheck.org ("the Site"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree with any part of these terms, please do not use the Site.
Description of Service
Drug Fact Check is an informational website that presents adverse event reporting data sourced from the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS). The Site is designed to help users explore reported side effects for prescription and over-the-counter medications. Drug Fact Check does not provide medical advice, and the information presented should not be treated as such.
Important Medical Disclaimer
This Site is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. The adverse event data presented here reflects voluntary reports submitted to the FDA and does not establish a causal relationship between a drug and a reported side effect. A report of an adverse event does not mean the medication caused that event. Many factors can contribute to adverse events, including underlying conditions, other medications, and individual health circumstances.
Never stop, start, or change the dosage of any medication based on information found on this Site. Always consult your doctor, pharmacist, or other qualified healthcare provider with any questions about a medical condition or medication.
Data Accuracy
The data displayed on Drug Fact Check is sourced from publicly available FDA datasets. While we strive to present this data accurately, we do not guarantee the completeness, reliability, or timeliness of any information on the Site. FAERS data has significant inherent limitations: reports are voluntary and unverified, they may contain errors or duplicates, and reporting rates do not reflect the actual incidence of adverse events. Users should consult the FDA or their healthcare provider for authoritative drug safety information.
