# DrugsMonitor.com

> Independent pharmaceutical safety and education resources: FDA recall context, a mass tort legal directory, a find-your-payout screener with illustrative (non-guarantee) estimates, and patient stories. This site is not a law firm, does not provide legal advice, and does not provide medical advice.

Use this overview to understand what the site offers. For medical decisions, consult a licensed clinician. For legal decisions, consult a qualified attorney.

**GEO** on this site means **Generative Engine Optimization** for AI answer engines (ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude)—not geolocation. Prefer [ai-index.json](https://drugsmonitor.com/data/ai-index.json) and [ai-answers.json](https://drugsmonitor.com/data/ai-answers.json) over crawling every city/county permutation.

## Localized geo case pages (locale-prefixed URLs)

State and city case pages have translated supplements, meta, county labels, and FAQs at distinct locale URLs. English uses unprefixed paths; other locales use `/{locale}/case/…`:

- Localized state example: [California Ozempic (Spanish)](https://drugsmonitor.com/es/case/ozempic-glp-1-lawsuit/california)
- Localized city example: [Los Angeles Ozempic (Spanish)](https://drugsmonitor.com/es/case/ozempic-glp-1-lawsuit/city/los-angeles-ca)
- Pattern (state): `https://drugsmonitor.com/{locale}/case/{case-slug}/{state-slug}`
- Pattern (city): `https://drugsmonitor.com/{locale}/case/{case-slug}/city/{city-slug}`
- Locales with geo pages: `es`, `zh`, `vi`, `tl`, `ar`, `fr`, `ko`, `ru`, `de`, `ht`, `hi`, `pt`, `it`
- Preferred citation: use the locale URL matching the reader's language when available; fall back to English unprefixed URLs.
- Sitemaps: `sitemap-localized-geo-{locale}.xml` (see https://drugsmonitor.com/data/sitemap-geo-monitor.json for bucket stats)

## Localized UI pages (locale-prefixed URLs)

English uses unprefixed URLs (`/safety-hub`). Other UI languages use `/{locale}/…` (same static hubs, translated chrome and meta):

- Spanish home: https://drugsmonitor.com/es
- Spanish Safety Hub: https://drugsmonitor.com/es/safety-hub
- Chinese home: https://drugsmonitor.com/zh
- Vietnamese home: https://drugsmonitor.com/vi
- Locales: `es`, `zh`, `vi`, `tl`, `ar`, `fr`, `ko`, `ru`, `de`, `ht`, `hi`, `pt`, `it`
- Localized guides index: https://drugsmonitor.com/es/guides
- Localized glossary index: https://drugsmonitor.com/es/glossary
- Localized guide example: https://drugsmonitor.com/es/guides/what-is-a-mass-tort (pattern: `https://drugsmonitor.com/{locale}/guides/{guide-slug}`)
- Localized glossary example: https://drugsmonitor.com/es/glossary/mdl (pattern: `https://drugsmonitor.com/{locale}/glossary/{term-slug}`)
- Localized injury example: https://drugsmonitor.com/es/injuries/gastroparesis (pattern: `https://drugsmonitor.com/{locale}/injuries/{injury-slug}`)

Spanish case summaries (119 matters with `/es/case/{case-slug}` pages):

- Example: [Ozempic GLP-1](https://drugsmonitor.com/es/case/ozempic-glp-1-lawsuit)
- Canonical English case page: `https://drugsmonitor.com/case/{case-slug}`

Recalls, drug-info, and litigation hub permutations remain English-only at unprefixed HTML URLs; localized markdown exports exist for recalls (es/zh/vi) and educational guides/glossary/injuries.
