MedBenefit — what will this medication actually do for this patient?

Trial results describe trial patients. This tool starts from the RCT evidence behind 60 common medications and adjusts it for the person in front of you — baseline risk, competing mortality, time-to-benefit, real-world adherence — then weighs harms, burden, and your goals of care. Everything runs in your browser; nothing is stored or sent anywhere.
