CodeRx Drug Database

Overview

CodeRx Drug Database solves the unfair choice between hard-to-use raw open drug data and expensive proprietary drug databases. We transform complex government data sources (RxNorm, FDA, DailyMed, NADAC) into easy-to-use data marts purpose-built for pharmacy applications.

Built by pharmacists, designed for analytics - CodeRx Drug Database eliminates the need to become an expert in RxNorm SABs, TTYs, XML parsing, and government data formats. Instead of paying tens of thousands per year for proprietary systems or spending months learning how to work with the raw data, you get straightforward, queryable tables ready for pharmacy analytics.
