How it works

How a lookup works

  1. Type what you have

    A brand (Humira), a substance (adalimumab), an ATC code (L04AB04) or a number from the pack — GTIN, NDC, PZN, CIP, AIC or a national register number. Codes are recognised by their shape.

  2. Pick the product

    Matches come back grouped by medicine, with the countries each one is registered in. Narrow to one country when you only care about your market.

  3. Read the record

    Substance, strength, ATC class, manufacturer, dispensing category, reimbursement and packs — with the source register and the date it was last synced.

In detail

What a drug search returns

The search runs over every product on the 19 national registers we ingest — one row per product per register, so a medicine marketed in eight countries shows up as eight register entries, grouped under one name. It matches the brand name and the active substance, so a pharmacist typing the INN and a patient typing the brand land on the same products.

A recognised code is resolved directly instead of being read as a name: an ATC code returns the products filed under it, and a pack number (GTIN, NDC, PZN, CIP13, AIC, Swissmedic or another national number) returns the exact product it identifies. Opening a record shows where else the same substance is registered.

01 · Names

Brand or substance

Matches anywhere in the product name or the registered active substance, so "adalimumab" and "Humira" both find the adalimumab products.

02 · Codes

Paste any code

ATC codes, GTIN/EAN, NDC, PZN, CIP13, AIC, Swissmedic and other national numbers, UNII and RxCUI are recognised and resolved directly — the response says which kind matched.

03 · Filters

One country or all

Scope to one market with its ISO code, or search every register at once. An ATC prefix narrows to a therapeutic class: M01 for every anti-inflammatory product, M01AE01 for ibuprofen.

04 · Provenance

Source and date on every row

Each product carries last_synced_at, and every API response lists the registers behind it with their sync date and health — so a stale source shows as stale.

For developers

The same answer, as one API call.

One GET with q and country returns matching products; q can be a name or any supported code. Pass country=ALL to search every register.

Coverage & freshness

  • Every product on the 19 national registers we ingest — the live count per country is on /data/sources.
  • Switzerland is the deepest: BAG-SL reimbursement, Swissmedic dispensing category, Pharmacode and the AIPS label text.
  • Each register syncs on its own schedule; _meta.sources reports the last good sync and schema state of each one.
  • When a register’s file changes shape, the new data is held back and the last good copy stays, marked stale.
  • Search needs the drugs:read scope, which every plan includes.
  • Without country, /v1 searches Switzerland by default and says so in a response header; pass country=ALL for every register. Default limit 20, max 100.

FAQ

Questions about drug search

More answers in the docs FAQ
Do I need an account to search?
Yes. Search, the medicine records and the console need a free account. Finding a medicine in the search box is not counted against your plan; opening a full record is.
Which countries can I search?
19 national registers: the United States, Canada, Japan, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Switzerland and the EU and EFTA markets we ingest. The full list with live product counts is on the data sources page.
Can I search by active substance instead of brand?
Yes. The search matches the product name and the registered active substance, so the INN (for example adalimumab) finds every product containing it, whatever its brand.
Can I search by barcode or national number?
Yes. Paste a GTIN/EAN, NDC, PZN, CIP13, AIC, Swissmedic number or another national pack number and it is resolved directly to the product it identifies. The dedicated code lookup returns the exact pack as well.
How fresh is the data?
Every product carries the date it was last synced from its register, and every API response lists each source register with its last good sync and schema state. A register whose file stopped validating is reported as stale rather than presented as current.
