mfds-drug-safety

The mfds-drug-safety skill provides safe access to official drug information from Korea's Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS) public OpenAPI through the k-skill-proxy service. Unlike typical drug lookup tools, this skill implements a mandatory interview-first approach that prioritizes patient safety by collecting critical context before providing any drug information. When users mention symptoms or medication usage, the skill never rushes to conclusions but instead asks essential qualifying questions about the patient's condition.

The skill queries two official MFDS endpoints: the DrbEasyDrugInfo Service (e약은요) for general drug overview information, and the SafeStadDrug Service for over-the-counter medication data. It systematically gathers information about who will take the medication (self, child, pregnant woman, elderly), existing medications, dosage history, current symptoms, underlying conditions, allergies, and other concurrent medications. The skill is specifically trained to identify red flag symptoms such as difficulty breathing, loss of consciousness, severe rashes, or persistent vomiting/chest pain that require immediate emergency care rather than information lookup.

This skill is ideal for Korean-speaking users seeking verified drug information, pharmacists validating drug interaction concerns, caregivers managing medications for family members, and healthcare-adjacent professionals needing quick access to official MFDS data. The skill explicitly avoids making diagnoses, prescriptions, or definitive dosing instructions, instead serving as an information bridge that summarizes official efficacy statements, usage guidelines, precautions, interactions, adverse reactions, and storage requirements while consistently directing users to consult pharmacists or physicians for final medical decisions.
