EMBL <http://www.embl.de/> - the European Molecular Biology Laboratory, has
made part of their SIDER Side Effect
Resource<http://sideeffects.embl.de/download/>available to the public
free of restriction via

the public
domain <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_domain>.
The database, SIDER <http://sideeffects.embl.de/>, contains information on
marketed medicines and their recorded adverse side effects and drug
reactions. Included in this dataset is information on the frequency of these
drug reactions, other drug and side effect classifications as well as links
to other relevant resources. To date, 888 drugs are listed in the database,
a tremendous resource for research and drug discovery.
The mapping of labels and euphoria-related side effects are now public
