How this service works
Search live drug and medicine metadata from the U.S. FDA's openFDA API: brand/generic name, active ingredients with strength, dosage form, route, manufacturer/labeler, product type, marketing status, and NDC codes -- plus an optional short (~400 character) label excerpt (purpose or indications only) and an optional recall/enforcement flag. Composed entirely from openFDA's NDC Directory, Drug Label, and Drug Enforcement APIs, all public domain (CC0 1.0 Universal). Never returns full label section
Output
Returns structured FDA drug metadata including brand and generic names, active ingredients with strengths, dosage form, route of administration, manufacturer/labeler, product type, marketing status, and NDC codes. Optionally includes a ~400-character excerpt from the drug label covering purpose or indications, and an optional recall/enforcement flag derived from FDA Drug Enforcement data. Data is sourced entirely from public domain (CC0 1.0) openFDA APIs.
Example use cases
Drug recall check for patient safety
“I need to know if Zantac has any active FDA recall or enforcement actions — also pull its active ingredients, NDC codes, and current marketing status.”
Identifying generic equivalents for a brand drug
“What's the generic name and active ingredient for Lipitor, and can you tell me what dosage forms and routes are available according to the FDA?”
Pharmacist NDC code lookup for dispensing
“I need the NDC codes and manufacturer info for Amoxicillin 500mg capsules from the FDA database — also tell me the product type and marketing status.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://api.macaroonnetwork.com/execute/drug-medicine-metadata-search-v1When to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need live, authoritative U.S. FDA drug metadata including NDC codes, active ingredients, dosage form, and recall status without needing full drug label sections. It is ideal for pharmaceutical compliance checks, patient safety workflows, drug identification tasks, and any scenario where openFDA data is needed but you want a pre-composed, structured result rather than querying multiple FDA APIs separately. Prefer this over raw openFDA queries when you need a recall flag and label excerpt bundled with core NDC metadata in a single call.
Side effects
- Drug not found in FDA database — returns empty results or not-found response
- Ambiguous drug name matching multiple products — may return multiple records requiring filtering
- openFDA upstream API unavailability — may cause timeout or error response
- NDC code format mismatch — malformed NDC input may return no results
- Rate limiting or payment failure — returns 402 or rate-limit error if payment not processed
