Drugref

Drugref is a valuable software tool that offers a free pharmaceutical reference information database, along with a robust infrastructure. It is the product of a collaborative effort to develop and maintain a database containing relevant information about pharmaceutical products. The content is tagged by language, country, and reference source, making it an organized and easy-to-navigate database.

The web interface, which is written in PHP4, allows the community of health professionals to maintain and review the content regularly. This ensures that the information remains current and accurate, making it a reliable resource for users. Additionally, the database structure is implemented in PostgreSQL, providing streamlined operations and facilitating automated decision support.

One unique feature of Drugref is its "tagging" capability. This allows users to import information from any source in parallel, making it a versatile platform that can work as a generic interface to any kind of (commercially or freely) available drug reference information. As such, it is a powerful tool for those in the healthcare industry who require detailed and up-to-date information about pharmaceutical products.
