Data methodology

Records are imported and normalised for search, then associated through commercial codes, ATC codes, substances and document identifiers.

Processing

Names, diacritics and presentation forms are normalised for search while the commercial code preserves product identity.

Canonical URLs consolidate old or equivalent codes only when they represent the same record; materially different packages remain separate pages.

Data and summaries

Price and reimbursement data may reflect imported CNAS lists and can differ from current pharmacy conditions.

A short summary can be generated from structured fields. It is separate from and does not replace the full leaflet.

Meaning of dates

List date, document date, import date and record-update date are different concepts. A date is shown only when present in available data.

The current date is never substituted for missing source data, and a technical update is not presented as medical review.
