console.log(data.topReactions, data.notice);Not medical advice. Nothing here tells anyone whether to start, stop or change a medicine. Talk to a doctor or pharmacist.
Adverse event reports are not proof. FAERS reports are voluntary and unverified. A report doesn't show a drug caused the reaction, and counts reflect reporting, not how often a reaction happens. A safety signal is a prompt for further study, not evidence of harm.

Hospitals: star ratings and measure results are CMS data. Rankings, net scores and percentiles are x402Pulse analysis based on CMS data, not CMS ratings, and not a recommendation of where to seek care.
