💡 AI Hint: Search the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS). Combine a free-text keyword with structured filters — medicinal product, suspect drug generic or brand name, reported reaction (MedDRA term), the serious flag, death outcome, patient sex, country of occurrence and a received-date range. Each result is a full FAERS safety report (same shape as the events endpoint).
