Search RxNorm Drugs by Name

Search the NIH RxNorm drug database by generic name, brand name, or ingredient. Returns standardized drug concepts with their RxCUI identifiers, term types (ingredient, brand name, clinical drug, branded drug), and synonyms. RxNorm is the US standard drug nomenclature used by EHRs, pharmacies, and insurers. Use the RxCUI from results with rxnorm.drugs.properties and rxnorm.drugs.class for deeper drug information. Filter by term type (tty) to focus on ingredients (IN), brand names (BN), or clinical drug formulations (SCD/SBD).
