Official medicine data, one API call away

Medifontis gives your application the medicine registers of 199 countries through a small, predictable REST API: three GET endpoints, one record shape, provenance on every result.

GET /v1/drugs
curl -G https://api.medifontis.com/v1/drugs \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $MEDIFONTIS_API_KEY" \
  --data-urlencode "country=ca" \
  --data-urlencode "q=metformin"
