US medication reference

Search ADDrugDB by name, NDC or RxCUI, or identify a tablet from its imprint, colour and shape.

Have a pill but no bottle? Identify it by appearance.

Where the data comes from

Product records, packaging and pill appearance are parsed from DailyMed Structured Product Labeling — the labels manufacturers file with the FDA. Regulatory fields come from the openFDA NDC Directory, and drug classifications from RxClass.

How current it is

The database is refreshed weekly from DailyMed's incremental release and reconciled against DailyMed's own published list, so withdrawn labels are flagged rather than silently disappearing. openFDA data is refreshed daily.

Known limits

Not every labeler reports imprint, colour and shape, so appearance search cannot cover every product. Where a drug classification is disputed between the labeler's own filing and NLM's curation, both are shown rather than one being picked silently.
