RxISK is a free, independent drug safety website to help you weigh the benefits of any medication against its potential dangers.
All drugs have side effects, but people often don’t link the effect they are experiencing to starting, stopping, or changing the dose of a drug. RxISK provides free access to information and tools to help you assess the connection between a drug and a side effect.
