This list comprises raw data collected from different countries. In some cases, a more comprehensive list of available drug packages is included. Consequently, very similar terms may therefore appear multiple times. Bold names are the searchable terms, while the gray names that follow are all mapped to the bolded term.
Note: The cleaning is done automatically by a proprietary algorithm, and it may produce errors. We strive to improve it continuously.
