hello

can you suggest me where to find complete databases of all drugs, ingredients and products, (prototypes, generics, biosimilars, active ingredients, formulations, orphans, etc) for each region, US, Asia, Europe, or for specific country, etc?

thanks!

usr doesn't seem to know how to use google as evidenced by the two threads he has started in this forum.

I wouldnt go into proving that you are totally wrong, but it's so easy and I will say just this:

there is a wonderful drug database called medicinescomplete.com that will not come up in first google webpages no matter what

and your regular drug database coming up in first google results will not have the generic atorvastatins of New Zeland manufacturers, for example

internet searching techniques and keywords used are not a simple thing, have you ever realized that the searching methodology can be a whole METHODS field in a scientific article?

your pre-medical status may explain this partly

anyway, back to topic, obviously, I am not asking about regular random google searches, I am asking about serious people that have a whole bookmarks folder named drug databases with organized and time-consuming-in-finding links, as much complete as possible, that would like to share

Well, as they say, no pain no gain. In a lot of industries this stuff would be considered trade secrets. I'm not surprised that no one is jumping to share much.

A quick google search brought up http://www.drugbank.ca/ That ought to give you basic structures, mechanism and pharmacologic data on marketed drugs. As far as drugs in development, you'll have to identify those through the literature (e.g. patent applications) individually.

For regional data, you're going to have to search by country outside of Europe, US, and Canada. For example, a Google search for (drug database new zealand) provided http://www.medsafe.govt.nz/profs/datasheet/datasheet.htm which appears to be a government database of suppliers for generic drugs.

I'm not trying to be judgmental or cruel, but you're going to have to put in some elbow grease here. With the complicated regulatory network and the gazillions of dollars in pharma development, there's not going to be one database or website to do all of your work for you.

Hope this helps!

So, how did this prove me wrong in saying that you don't know how to use google?? FYI, there are pharmacy subforums on sdn, but you probably already knew that since you have been enlightened past pre-medical status....
