In reply to FDA adverse events DB: is there a searchable one?, posted by desolationrower on April 1, 2009, at 7:18:51
I've visited that site recently too - it says here you can't access the database online; don't know if you saw that:
"Adverse Event Reporting System (AERS)
Description: The Adverse Event Reporting System supports the FDA's post-marketing safety surveillance program for all approved drug and therapeutic biologic products. It contains adverse drug reaction reports FDA has received from manufacturers as required by regulation. We provide downloadable files only; you cannot search the database online."Don't know if you saw their entire database list:
http://www.fda.gov/search/databases.html
The World Health organization has one too, but I don't know if you can access it:

Maybe Larry knows another resource.

Well, there's this index for which drugs with safety alerts issued are indicated with an asterisk:
http://www.fda.gov/cder/drug/DrugSafety/DrugIndex.htmAnd there's the Medwatch searchable database of labelling changes:
http://www.fda.gov/medwatch/safety.htmThe above involve data collection, interpretation, and epidemiological estimation, so they are the net effect of the FDA drug surveillance programs.
The raw AERS (Adverse Event Reporting System) data are available for download here:
http://www.fda.gov/cder/aers/extract.htmYou'll have to do your own searching within them. I don't think they're sorted in any way.

Sometimes my brain works very linearly. You asked about the FDA, so....I didn't think about other sources. The British drug surveillance (yellow card) data are available online at: http://www.mhra.gov.uk/Safetyinformation/Reportingsafetyproblems/Medicines/Reportingsuspectedadversedrugreactions/Healthcareprofessionalreporting/Druganalysisprints/index.htm

I'm not sure I understand the question. If a URL is included in a post, it'll show up as a hyperlink if it is in http://blah.blah format. I bet that shows up as a link.
The tinyurl was created by the website http://tinyurl.com/
It shortens huge URLs, like those that often come up with google searches and stuff like. Makes cut and paste much easier.
