SIDER Get Drug Side Effects

Get the list of known side effects for a drug from SIDER, including frequency data when available. Side effects are extracted from drug labels and include MedDRA codes, frequency percentages from clinical trials (e.g., '21% - 57.5%'), and placebo comparison rates. Provide either a drug name (will auto-search) or a SIDER drug ID from SIDER_search_drug. Returns adverse reactions recorded in official drug labels.
