Real-time FDA drug shortage alerts, adverse event data, recall tracking, and interaction checking — all in one app. Powered by public FDA data.
RxCanary is a medication safety companion that aggregates real-time FDA drug shortage data, adverse event reports, drug labeling, and recall information into a single native app. Built entirely on public FDA data with no accounts, no tracking, and no subscription.
YOUR MEDICATIONS
Add your medications and monitor them in one place. RxCanary checks for active drug shortages, recent recalls, and potential interactions between your tracked medications — automatically. Get notified when a shortage status changes or a new recall is issued for a drug you take.
DRUG SHORTAGE TRACKER
Browse hundreds of active FDA drug shortages with real-time data. Filter by status (Current, Resolved, Discontinuing), search by drug name, and see detailed shortage information including reason, manufacturer, and availability. Long-press any shortage to add it to your medication list or share the details.
SIDE EFFECT EXPLORER
Dive deep into adverse event data reported to the FDA. View the top reported reactions, serious vs. non-serious breakdown, reporter demographics, yearly trends, and age distribution — all presented in clear, interactive charts powered by Swift Charts.
INTERACTION CHECKER
RxCanary automatically checks for potential drug interactions when you have two or more medications tracked. Interaction data is drawn directly from FDA-approved drug labeling, with full label text available for review. Share interaction reports with your pharmacist or doctor.
RECALL ALERTS
Stay informed about drug, food, and device recalls from the FDA. Browse by classification (Class I, II, III), search by product name, and view full recall details including lot numbers, distribution patterns, and recall reasons.
BARCODE SCANNER
Scan the barcode on any medication bottle to instantly look up drug information, shortage status, and recall history. Available on the shortage tracker, recall feed, and when adding medications.
