# MedAPI Drug Lookup

> MedAPI Drug Lookup is a paid API for AI agents from mamujamedapi.vercel.app, paid per call via x402, $0.2/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-14).

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability medapi-drug-lookup-8c52fc0f -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you look up the drug information for Metformin — I need the generic name, brand name, active ingredients, dosage form, route, manufacturer, and any warnings?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need structured pharmaceutical reference data for a specific drug by name — particularly brand/generic name resolution, active ingredient lists, dosage form, and warnings. Prefer it over general web search when you need machine-readable drug fields. It complements adverse event and clinical trial endpoints in the same MedAPI suite for broader medical intelligence tasks.

## Known failure modes

- Drug name not found in database — returns success:false with no data object
- Misspelled or ambiguous drug name — may return no results or incorrect match
- Unknown or investigational drugs not in the underlying database may return empty
- Network timeout on the vercel deployment — transient 5xx errors possible
