Fda Database

This wraps the openFDA API for querying drug safety data, medical device recalls, food enforcement reports, and substance identifiers. You get structured access to adverse event reports across drugs, devices, foods, and veterinary products, plus regulatory submissions like 510(k) clearances and PMA approvals. The skill includes helpers for common patterns like safety profiling and temporal analysis, though you're mostly building search strings and parsing JSON responses. Rate limits are generous with an API key (120k requests per day vs 1k without). Most useful if you're doing pharmacovigilance work, tracking recall patterns, or need to map between NDC codes, UNII identifiers, and CAS numbers. The data is real FDA reporting, so expect the usual data quality issues with voluntary adverse event submissions.
