That being said, the amount of work this person (TBA) has put into this site is amazing and MUCH appreciated. It does make it easier to search on adverse events and he is trying to make it even easier by listening to suggestions and adding to his site when he can to make things easier.

Thanks TBA!!!
Thanks Riverwild.

I was of the impression that AERS is a government initiative, and that they are somewhat reliant on the integrity of this information to flag safety issues, etc.

It seems that information may be administered through Medwatch, but quarterly reports seem to be accessible through the FDA site.

So FDAble is another site that presumably provides this same information, in perhaps a more user friendly way? They are getting their information from government endorsed sources though, right?
