What do iGuard Risk Ratings mean?

Anyone who has tried learning about safety from a Patient Information insert knows how difficult they can be to read. iGuard.org makes it easy to understand your risk of developing serious side effects through our risk rating system.

iGuard Risk Ratings are listed in order from lowest to highest risk below. Please note that these ratings DO NOT take into account potential benefits of treatment or the risk of NOT being treated.



Where do these ratings come from?

iGuard.org employs a team of doctors and pharmacists to generate risk ratings based on a drug's prescribing information. Our patent-pending, risk rating process involves three steps:

1. Our pharmacists identify information on serious side effects.
   
   
2. Our physicians assign a Risk Rating based on the likelihood and
   severity of these side effects.
   
   
3. The final Risk Ratings also take into consideration how long the drug has been on the market and the number of patients who have used it.
