vs a national compendium
19 countries. Published prices.
A national compendium is deep on home turf, but covers one country and is licensed per tenant. Drug Database covers 19 countries across Europe, the US and beyond, readable in a browser today, with the source and date on every answer. Here is the side-by-side, including where they win.
| Aspect | HCI Solutions / compendium.ch | Drug Database |
|---|---|---|
| Switzerland (BAG-SL / Pharmacode / Swissmedic) | YesHome turf — the Swiss standard | YesYes — direct from the public sources |
| Worldwide coverage: 19 countries (one API) | NoSwitzerland only | Yes646,258 products, searchable in one place |
| Register format changes | NoYou discover breakage in prod | YesCaught before it reaches you; stale data flagged, never silent |
| Told when a register changes | NoManual re-pull | YesWatchtower feed; webhooks for your own systems |
| How you get at it | NoSOAP-era portal / CSV / paid SDK | YesIn the browser, or REST · GraphQL · MCP |
| Cross-jurisdiction identifier bridges | NoSwiss codes only | YesPharmacode ↔ GTIN ↔ NDC ↔ dm+d ↔ RxCUI… |
| Pricing | NoPer-tenant licence, quoted on request | YesPublished on /pricing. Free to try; Pro $29/mo |
| Deepest proprietary Swiss local data | YesDecades of curation | NoPublic-source first; BYOL for paid catalogues |
Fair caveat: HCI Solutions (Galenica) has decades-deep proprietary Swiss curation, and we won't out-cover their local depth in year one. Drug Database wins on Swiss public-source coverage, on price, and on being usable today without a procurement cycle — and adds EU + US in the same place. Customers who already licence a paid catalogue can BYOL their credentials per-tenant — we never resell.

For developers
The same records, over an API.
If you are building a pharmacy system, a formulary tool or an agent, every answer on this site is also a JSON response — 646,258 products, one shape, the source and sync date as fields.
- REST and GraphQL, with FHIR R4 on request
- An MCP server for Claude, Cursor and other AI clients
- A change feed, or signed webhooks when a register moves
One key, every jurisdiction
The freshness stamp is a field on every response rather than a footnote.
GET /v1/drugsSearch by name, substance, ATC or country across 19 registers.GET /v1/drugs/{id}The canonical record. Add ?format=fhir for a FHIR R4 Medication.POST /v1/interactions/checkN-way check over a med list; returns severity_max.GET /v1/atc/{code}The WHO ATC tree — parents, children, DDD, multilingual labels.GET /v1/changes?since=The diff feed, with a cursor. Or register a signed webhook and stop polling.POST /v1/graphqlField selection, when the REST shape is more than you need.
API calls count against the same monthly quota as the console: 20 requests a month on Free, 20,000 requests a month on Pro ($29/month). The MCP package is @drug-database/mcp-server on npm.
FAQ
Questions, answered honestly.
Including the answers that do not flatter us.
Still have a question? See where the data comes from or email hello@drug-database.com.
Who is this for?
Mainly pharmacists, prescribers and the analysts who work on market access, regulatory and procurement questions: anyone who needs to know what a medicine is, what it interacts with, what it costs and where it is available, across 19 countries. Developers can reach the same records over an API and an MCP server, but you never need to.
Do I have to be a developer to use this?
No, and that is the point of the rebuild. The search at /search is public, needs no account and no key, and gives you the record with the register it came from. A free account adds the console: one screen per question — what a drug is, what it interacts with, what it costs where, and what changed. You can use all of it without ever seeing an API key.
What's the free tier, really?
Searching at /search is free and needs no account. A free account is a taste, not a plan: 20 lookups and 3 AI answers a month, counted per account, over the entire catalogue — all 646,258 products in all 19 countries. No card, and it resets every month. Pro is $29/month for 20,000 lookups and 50 AI answers a month; for teams building on the API, Starter $99/mo for 250,000 requests, and Growth $490/mo for 2,000,000 plus interaction checking over the API. In the interests of not overselling: nobody is on a paid plan yet. Every account today is on the free tier.
Where does the data come from, and how fresh is it?
Public regulator feeds — Swissmedic and the BAG Spezialitätenliste in Switzerland, dm+d in the UK, BDPM in France, CIMA in Spain, AIFA in Italy, the FDA's NDC directory and DailyMed in the US, Health Canada, MHLW in Japan, the Nordic and Central European agencies, plus EMA and the WHO ATC index. 51 registers are currently reporting healthy out of 70 tracked, and /status shows each one's last successful sync. Every API response carries last_synced_at, so freshness is a field you can read rather than a claim you have to take.
How accurate is it, and what happens when a register changes its format?
Ingested data is schema-validated before it lands and diff-tracked against the previous version, so a change is a row in the change feed rather than a silent overwrite. When a source changes shape the validation fails at staging instead of corrupting production, the source is marked stale, and schema_state says so in the response. We do not hand-curate on top of the registers — what you get is what the regulator published, attributed to them.
Can I use it with AI tools and agents?
Yes. We publish @drug-database/mcp-server on npm, which exposes sixteen tools to any MCP client — Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, or your own agent. One of them (the schema reference) works with no key; the rest call the API and therefore need one, on the same quota as any other request. See /mcp for the tool list and the config snippet.
Do I need a DPA?
For the catalogue, no. The drug and interaction endpoints touch no patient health information, so they require no Data Processing Agreement. Only the optional /v1/prescriptions/validate endpoint accepts patient context, and only in bucketed form — age band, eGFR band, pregnancy — so a DPA is relevant solely if you choose to use that one endpoint.
Is this a medical device?
No. Drug Database is an informational data service, not a medical device, and it is not a substitute for clinical judgement. It exists to support qualified healthcare professionals and the systems they rely on, not to replace them. Verify against the official source of record before making a clinical decision — and every record here tells you which source that is.
How is this different from a national compendium like HCI Solutions?
They are deeper than us on their home turf and we are not going to pretend otherwise — decades of proprietary Swiss curation is not something you catch up on in a year. Where we differ: we cover 19 countries in one shape rather than one country deeply, our prices are published rather than quoted, and you can read the data in a browser today without a procurement cycle. If you already licence a proprietary catalogue, Growth can pass your own credentials through per-tenant so you keep it alongside ours — we never resell it.
