Last month I needed to answer a simple question: Is Ozempic safer than Mounjaro? To answer that using public FDA data, I had to: Query openFDA adverse events (54,647 raw records for Ozempic alone) Query openFDA recalls (separate endpoint, different search syntax) Query openFDA labels (third endpoint, another schema) Repeat all three for Mounjaro Cross-reference with SEC filings (fourth API) That is 6+ API calls across 4 different systems. Hours of work for one question. So we built an API that does it in one call. One Call, One Answer GET /intelligence/v2/compare?drugs=ozempic,mounjaro,trulicity Response: OZEMPIC (Novo Nordisk / NVO) Serious rate: 44.9% | Death rate: 1.58% | Recalls: 2 MOUNJARO (Eli Lilly / LLY) Serious rate: 7.3% | Death rate: 0.14% | Recalls: 0 Winner (lowest serious rate): MOUNJARO Five seconds. Three drugs compared. Company linkage included automatically. What Else It Does This is not just a wrapper around openFDA. The engine combines data from 4 government sources
