Standard Drug Identifiers Database

A single drug can often be identified several different ways. A broad drug concept such as "Prozac," for example, is more likely to be used by a physician. A pharmacy, on the other hand, typically prefers a Packaged Drug or National Drug Code that is specific to drug strength, dosage form, package size and manufacturer.

The Standard Drug Identifiers Database enables users to navigate across related drug concepts, providing the terminology needed to identify drugs by:

  • Drug Name and its associated description, such as Prozac or Fluoxetine HCl
  • Routed Drug and its associated description, such as Prozac Oral or Fluoxetine HCl Oral
  • Dispensable Drug (also known as the DDID from MED-File) and its associated description, such as Prozac Oral Capsule 20MG or Fluoxetine HCl Oral Capsule 20 MG
The Standard Drug Identifiers Database also supports e-prescribing and Computerized Provider Order Entry by providing broad drug concepts that can be used for drug identification and searching.
