Any plans to increase the breadth of covered agents? As an example, one of the things I immediately searched for was Fluoroscein, and Indocynanine Green, which are dyes used in ophthalmology.


Yep, I did have brand name drugs on the agenda, but I do think there are also more broadly medical products. Keep an eye out for those. ;)


"% of total reports by age" -- are you adjusting for the # of people of each age taking the drug?


No, I'm not and that's an important point. The distribution by age probably matches the distribution that are taking the drug.

This is a first step, I'd like to adjust by the # taking the drug. Any other suggestions would be appreciated! :)

Right now the dashboard exposes the OpenFDA data in a pretty raw form: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7833439


Very neat.
