Q:

How can I search for products using the Active Ingredient name?

A:

Our platform allows you to search for all relevant products based on their core Active Ingredient (API) using standard English nomenclature.


Component Search Logic & Operations


  1. Incremental Search (Auto-Suggest Feature):

    As you type the first few letters of an active ingredient into the search bar, the system will provide a real-time list of matching candidates. This feature ensures quick and accurate results, even for complex chemical names with difficult spellings.


  2. Active Ingredients List

    By clicking the 'Active Ingredients' link located directly below the search bar, you can access a comprehensive, alphabetized directory of all registered active substances in our database.


  3. Navigation to Product Listings

    Clicking a specific ingredient from the suggestions or the list will generate a tailored view of all pharmaceuticals containing that substance, including both Brand-name drugs and Generic alternatives.


Pro-Tips for Successful Searches

  • Use International Standards (INN): All searches must be conducted in English. We recommend using International Nonproprietary Names (INN) or standard Romanized chemical names.

  • Leverage Partial Matching: Entering even a portion of the ingredient name will trigger the suggestion engine, helping you find the correct substance without needing the full exact spelling.
