Integrated search
The browser on the site’s home page allows users to perform an integrated search so that a single search displays the name of a drug, its active ingredient, the companies that market it and the ATC code.
Thanks to its search engine with predictive text input and auto-correction of entries, PR Vademecum allows users to find the desired information quickly and easily.
The ATC codes that appear for any medicinal product/active ingredient are navigable and quickly provide access to drugs based on their classification.
Search by active ingredient
For each active ingredient, the site provides its name in various languages, its chemical formula, relevant ATC codes and a list of all available drugs (trade names) containing that active ingredient, sorted by manufacturer and pharmaceutical form.

• Whether it is a narcotic
• Whether it is psychotropic
• Whether it affects driving
• Whether it is generic
