DailyMed Search Drug Classes

Search the DailyMed database for FDA Established Pharmacologic Classes (EPC). Returns drug class names and NDF-RT codes that categorize drugs by their mechanism of action or pharmacologic effect. Use this to find drug classes for a specific therapeutic area (e.g., 'antihypertensive', 'antibiotic', 'antineoplastic') or to look up specific pharmacologic class codes. The drug class codes can be used to search DailyMed_search_spls for all drugs in that class.
