NAPLES, Fla., July 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- EZDERM, a leading provider of dermatology software solutions, today announced the launch of its Side Effects Module.

• Streamlined Documentation: Once identified, Side Effects automatically documents the relevant information in the patient progress notes, reducing manual entry for dermatologists and minimizing the risk of errors.

"This module allows dermatologists to quickly check a comprehensive list of side effects, conveniently divided into dermatology-related and other side effects, to quickly identify the possible culprit medications for a patient's symptoms, saving valuable time, minimizing unnecessary treatments, and improving patient care."
