iGuard.org - Stay Updated on Your Medications

Who wouldn´t appreciate updates on their medication. Maybe there is another medication that won´t give you any annoying side effects, or maybe there was a recent discovery that your medication is actually harmful. iGuard.org connects doctors, patients and medical researchers together so that they can learn from each other and provide the best medical care. Joining is easy, set up a profile listing the medication you take and for how long you have been taking them for. The second part is like a visit to the doctors office, fill out your age, sex, any medical complications you have had in the past, stroke, depression, cancer, etc. The third step is filling in your primary
physicians information, his/her name and office location. Then you are ready to go and receive updates on the medications you listed, research activities and special offers that might be relevant to your health. If you are not currently on any medication but may be in the future, look up a drug and see how iGuard.org rates its risk level.
Get the most up to date information on your medication by using iGuard.org.

"iGuard is the fastest and easiest way for you to get personalized alerts and updates on the safety of your medicines.

We are the catalyst for the new conversation among patients,
physicians, pharmacists, drug researchers and the government. Launched in 2007 as a startup venture funded by Quintiles Transnational,
"iGuard puts the power of drug safety in the hands of each American, right where it should be," states Dr. Hugo Stephenson, founder and president of iGuard.

We facilitate the virtual flow of communication among patients,
physicians, and researchers according to two guiding principles:

With iGuard, patients can feel safer because they will be sent the drug safety information they need, when they need it.

The more people that join iGuard, the faster we can help researchers
identify safety problems - and communicate this information back to
patients, caregivers, and their providers. "

iGuard.org is run by individuals who have had a great deal of experience in the medical field, focusing in drug development and safety, especially Dr. Hugo Stephenson the founder and president of iGuard.org. This site generates information from many medical sources and gives individuals the updates that their physicians might not have the time to research. iGuard.org puts power and knowledge in the hands of patients guiding them on advancements in the medical world.

There are many online health care directories such as HealthTouch.com, that allow patients to search for information or diagnose themselves, will these sites pose competition for iGuard.org? iGuard.org could include a discussion forum on the site so that users
could inform each other on their experiences with a particular medication.
