Drugcite.com for medication side effects and statistics
I found this website Drugcite.com. It is a fascinating resource for checking medication side effects. The site is user-friendly and easy to navigate. We typed in the Influenza vaccination. Results of side effects reported to the FDA reflected the two major side effects reported during the 2010 flu vaccination season were respiratory and epidermal/ dermal conditions. Epidermal/ dermal basically means it is related to the skin. Click on the epidermal and the statistics are further broken down into subcategories, like rash and redness at site.
Just be aware that the side effects are listed in medical terms. I would offer the suggestion that Drugcite.com place a medical dictionary in their tools category.
The neat thing is that this site lists the dates of the side effects reported, whether reported by male or female and how many people reported this side effect. Cool.
Check out their phone app. We are curious if any of you have tried the app yet.
Happy side effect hunting. Great job drugcite.com!

Bed bugs have spread as travel has become easier. They get transported from country to country in luggage and other goods. Over smaller distances, they can travel in bedding, clothing or furniture.
