RxWise can help you and your family avoid adverse drug reactions. It’s a personalized ADR risk-assessment system contained on a USB Flash Drive, or accessible through the Internet. It thoroughly evaluates your potential risks for an ADR by analyzing your self-reported personal medical history in the context of a medicine’s known risk profile. Using sophisticated risk-assessment software, RxWise provides important information about which medications may cause an adverse reaction. It covers a broad range of the most commonly used prescription and over-the-counter drugs.

Each person may respond to drugs differently. Specifically, your pre-existing medical conditions or other medicines you take may affect how your body reacts to a medication. For example, if you have high blood pressure, medicines that can potentially increase your fluid retention may result in an undesirable increase in your blood pressure. When you receive a normal dose of a fluid-retaining drug, the medication may cause fluid to accumulate and could result in a dangerous increase in blood pressure. For most commonly prescribed outpatient, over-the-counter or herbal medications, RxWise notifies you and your healthcare provider of a potential ADR. This notification report is based on a review of the published medical literature, and the published findings of the potential risk information for the medicine's clinical trials.

RxWise analyzes your self-reported personal medical history in combination with other medicines you report taking, your age and sex—and generates a personal message about those medications that may cause problems for you. This analysis gives you and your healthcare providers the tools to better understand the potential risks of taking a particular medication.
