PharmaSurveyor: Personalize your drug regimen! March 25, 2008

PharmaSurveyor is a new community, currently in beta, focusing on a question: “Could my medications be the cause of my new or unexplained symptoms? You just enter your drugs then search for any symptoms you have. It’s like a drug interaction tool that also covers the compound risks associated with additive toxicity from multiple drugs taken at the same time.

Here is the mission statement:

We also desperately need to improve our understanding of the risks for Adverse Drug Events, beyond drug trial data and especially for multi-drug regimens. PharmaSurveyor will accomplish this by collecting consumer experiences and surveying them as well as the FDA trials data. This will produce post-market surveillance at Web scale, for the first time.

PharmaSurveyor brings these capabilities to consumers, clinicians, and researchers in a private and secure community environment to work together to share experiences and optimize trade-offs in constructing drug regimens.

A better informed consumer always drives product improvements.

You can also search by side effects so you can easily find out what might be the cause of your nausea. It looks interesting.

And under the Celebrity Drug Cocktails button, they tell you how additive toxicity killed Heath Ledger and Anna Nicole Smith.
