Heyas! Love the idea behind this, but a question about the product itself -

Is there going to be some way to ask for and filter out information for effectiveness etc. depending on the use that you're trying to address? For example, I just looked up gabapentin, which was basically ineffective for treating my non-shingles/diabetic neuropathic pain.. and I can only break down the info by age and sex. Same story with montelukast, great for my asthma but far from a one-pill wonder for my allergic rhinitis despite being marketed/approved for it. Would love to see data like that without having to dig around in the individual comments or for studies!

Structured data for effectiveness is on our radar! It's a bigger project than you'd think. Thanks for the comment.
