Details

SIDER (Side Effect Resource) is a database of drugs and their side effects, which was developed at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL). The database contains information extracted from public documents and package inserts, providing valuable data on marketed medicines and their recorded adverse drug reactions.

SIDER 4.1, released on October 21, 2015, contains information on 1,430 drugs and 5,868 side effects, totaling 139,756 drug-side effect pairs. The database uses the MedDRA dictionary (version 16.1) to standardize side effect terminology and provides access to both preferred terms and lower-level terms.

The database includes:

  • Drug information (names, ATC codes)
  • Side effect information (MedDRA terms)
  • Frequency information for side effects
  • Indications for drugs
  • Classifications of drugs and side effects
  • Links to further information (e.g., drug-target relations)

SIDER is linked to other databases like STITCH and PubChem through compound identifiers, allowing for integration with other biomedical resources.

The project is no longer actively maintained or updated as it lacks funding for further development. The most recent data is from 2015 and is therefore considered out of date. However, the resource remains valuable for historical research and as a reference for drug side effect data.
