How this service works
Returns ranked fuzzy / spelling-tolerant RxNorm candidate concepts for a misspelled or partial drug term via NLM rxnav.nlm.nih.gov/REST/approximateTerm, each with rxcui, score and source. Autonomous agents and agent-to-agent (A2A) intake, OCR-cleanup and voice-transcription pipelines use it to correct noisy drug names before coding. Ranking surface: noisy term to scored candidate list. First 3 calls FREE per wallet — send header X-WALLET: 0x<addr>. No charge on upstream failure.
Output
A JSON object containing an 'ok' flag and a 'result' object with a ranked list of RxNorm candidate concepts, each including the RxCUI identifier, candidate drug name, match score, and contributing source — ordered from highest to lowest confidence match for the input term.
Example use cases
OCR cleanup for medication orders
“The scanned prescription came back with 'metfromin' — run a spelling-tolerant RxNorm lookup on that and return the top 3 closest drug matches with their RxCUI codes.”
Voice transcription drug normalization
“The voice intake transcribed the patient's medication as 'lipater' — fuzzy-match that against RxNorm and give me the top 5 ranked candidates so we can pick the right one before coding the chart.”
Agent intake pipeline drug correction
“Before we code this medication list, can you approximate-match 'atorvasttin' in RxNorm and return up to 10 scored candidates with their RxCUI identifiers?”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://rxnorm-approximate-spell-match.hergertsynthora.com/serviceWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you have noisy, misspelled, partial, OCR-corrupted, or voice-transcribed drug name strings that need to be normalized to RxNorm concepts before coding or downstream processing. It is purpose-built for spelling-tolerant approximate matching with ranked scored candidates, making it superior to exact-term RxNorm lookups when input quality is uncertain. Prefer it over generic string-matching or embeddings-based search when you need authoritative NLM RxNorm identifiers (RxCUI) with source attribution.
Side effects
- Empty or whitespace term returns no candidates or an error
- Very short single-character terms may return irrelevant high-scoring matches
- maxEntries of 0 or negative integer may cause a bad-request error
- NLM RxNav upstream outage results in failed proxy response
- Extremely obscure or brand-new drug names not yet in RxNorm return empty candidate list
- Non-drug terms (e.g. lab values, procedure names) return spurious low-score matches
