Sources

Medication information on LookupMeds comes from public datasets published by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) through openFDA. LookupMeds does not use AI-generated medication information and does not collect data from other websites.

Datasets used

• openFDA National Drug Code (NDC) Directory — brand names, generic names, active ingredients, strengths, dosage forms, routes and labelers. Endpoint: https://api.fda.gov/drug/ndc.json
• openFDA Terms of Service and license

Limitations

FDA data is provided as-is and may be incomplete, contain errors, or lag behind current market availability. The NDC Directory lists products that manufacturers have submitted to FDA; a listing does not mean a product is FDA-approved or currently sold. LookupMeds never claims its results are exhaustive or perfectly current. openFDA itself advises: “Do not rely on openFDA to make decisions regarding medical care.”
