Drug interaction claims
Each interaction pair is sourced from a curated database of 40,000+ verified pairs. Every listing carries a severity tag (dangerous, moderate, mild) derived from mechanism data — not from language-model generation.

Research, Sources & Methodology
The regulators, peer-reviewed journals, and public-health databases that GoDavaii’s medical content is grounded in — plus our methodology for how AI synthesis and human review combine. Reviewed by the GoDavaii Editorial & Safety Team.

Global peer-reviewed & database sources
PubMed / NCBI
Peer-reviewed medical literature for drug safety and clinical evidence.

Methodology
Pregnancy safety
Pregnancy guidance uses FDA pregnancy categories (where assigned) cross-referenced with WHO Essential Medicines List and Indian obstetric-society guidelines. Any medicine we do not have structured data for is marked "insufficient data" rather than guessed.
Desi Ilaaj verification
Traditional remedies are evaluated for (a) ingredient safety at usual doses, (b) documented benefit in peer-reviewed literature where available, and (c) known interactions with common Indian prescription medicines. Remedies that fail (c) are flagged with a conflict warning.
Lab interpretation
Reference ranges follow Indian laboratory standards where published; global ranges (Tietz, Harrison's) are used as fallback. We explicitly show the range used and caveat that individual labs may differ.
