FAQ

Before you start, the plain answers.

Who is Drug Database for?
For the people who look medicines up — pharmacists, prescribers, and market-access, regulatory and procurement teams — and for developers who build the same records into their own software. Every page here reads the same catalogue, taken from official national registers.
Do I need an account to search?
Yes — a free one, with no card and nothing to install. Search runs in the console in your browser: finding a medicine is free, and opening its full record counts as one lookup (the free plan includes 10 lookups in total). Developers use the same account to create an API key.
Which countries are covered?
19 countries: United Kingdom, United States, Czechia, Finland, Spain, Switzerland, Poland, Belgium, Netherlands, Sweden, Germany, Denmark, France, Canada, Japan, Italy, Ireland, Norway, Iceland. Price per defined daily dose is available for the 11 markets whose registers publish a usable price: Switzerland, United States, France, Italy, Spain, Belgium, Norway, Poland, Czechia, Finland, Iceland.
Is Drug Database a medical device?
No. It is an informational data service and does not replace professional judgement. Every record names the register it came from and the date it was last checked, so you can verify an answer at its source before acting on it.
Where does the data come from?
From the public registers of national regulators and payers — Swissmedic and the BAG Spezialitätenliste, dm+d, BDPM, CIMA, AIFA, the FDA and others. We are not affiliated with or endorsed by any of them; the data sources page lists every register and when it last synced.
