Hi, Is it possible to obtain an open adverse drug reaction database? Are there any international standards for listing adverse drug reactions, say on the basis of active substances? I am not familiar with the subject, so I do not know how these databases are constructed, but somehow I feel that they are not as hard as clinical guidelines to contstruct; and they have broader use. An open, international database would make a lot of things easier for healthcare related information systems, beginning with the prevention of adverse reactions. A google search brings this one for example: http://www.cbc.ca/news/adr/database/ . But how applicable this db is for another country, and also is it allowed to be used elsewhere? I'd appreciate your opinions/experiences on this one
Regards Seref
