SafeRx-Agent: A Knowledge-Grounded Multi-Agent Framework for Safe and Explainable Medication Recommendation

arXiv:2605.29146v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Medication recommendation predicts medications for patient visits, but existing methods still face two key challenges. At the model level, traditional drug recommendation methods only predict structured drug codes with limited evidence grounding, while LLM agents can use richer clinical context but may lack safety verification and traceability. At the task level, existing benchmarks often use broad medication categories, which ignore subgroup-level safety differences and can lead to risk overestimation. We introduce the first fine-grained medic

Why this matters
Why now

The rapid advancement of large language models (LLMs) and their integration into agentic systems are pushing the boundaries of AI applications in sensitive domains like healthcare.

Why it’s important

This development highlights the crucial need for safety verification, explainability, and fine-grained data in AI systems operating in high-stakes environments, directly addressing current limitations in medical AI.

What changes

Medication recommendation systems are moving beyond basic structured data to incorporate rich clinical context via LLM agents, alongside a new emphasis on fine-grained safety and explainability in their design.
