VeganMed, Inc.
Side Effect Checker

Instructions For Use:

1. Obtain a list of your current medications or recall their names from memory. Please make sure you have the generic names of your medications on hand rather than the brand names (e.g., Metformin instead of Glucophage).

2. Click on the pink "Medication Side Effect Checker" link at the top of this page.

3. In the new window that opens, type all of your medications into the text box located to the right of "drug_name:", separating each medication with a comma.

4. Click the play button (  ▶  ) to the left of "drug_name:" once all of your medications are entered.

5. A table should populate below the medications you entered, listing all package insert side effects associated with your medications. Scroll down to identify which of your medications may be causing the side effects you are experiencing. The drug names will be listed in the columns across the top, and the side effects will be listed at the left of each row. Cells containing 'X's indicate that the side effect is associated with the drug. Percentages indicate the relative frequency of the side effect occurring due to the drug in question.

6. Please note: If a drug that you entered does not populate in the chart, it is likely not included in the Medication Side Effect Checker at this time.
