Overview

Drug side effects are now a leading cause of death, disability, and illness. Experts estimate that only 1–10% of “serious” adverse events are ever reported. Not to mention the millions of “medically mild” adverse drug events that occur each year — ones that compromise a person’s concentration, functioning, judgment, and ability to care. RxISK.org has been designed to help patients, doctors, and pharmacists research prescription drugs and their side effects. It also provides a means to easily report these side effects to assist in individual patient care and to help other patients by identifying problems and possible solutions earlier than is currently happening. RxISK.org is the first free website (not sponsored by big pharma or advertising) to provide this kind of support to patients, doctors, and pharmacists around the world. RxISK provides pharmacovigilance solutions for insurance and pharmaceutical companies, with the latest local information on side effects for media outlets and law firms. RxISK also provides information for health investors. Our mission is to help make medicines safer for all of us.
