RxNorm Concept Name and Term Type by RxCUI

rxnorm/concept-properties

Returns the RxNorm normalized name, display synonym and term type (IN ingredient, BN brand name, SCD generic clinical drug, SBD branded drug, DF dose form and so on) for one RxCUI, from NLM's RxNav API, unchanged. Only active RxNorm concepts answer: a retired, remapped or unknown RxCUI returns an empty object, not an error, and this tool cannot tell those apart. Source: RxNorm, from the U.S. National Library of Medicine; Omnial is not an NLM product and NLM is not responsible for it.
