→ Enroll Your ProductsIndia's healthcare ecosystem has reached a point where fragmented medicine data is no longer sustainable. In recent years, digital health platforms, e-pharmacies, e-prescription systems, and inventory management systems have scaled rapidly.
Hospitals and pharmacies have accelerated digitization, while interoperability requirements and regulatory expectations around accuracy, traceability, and auditability have increased significantly. In this environment, inconsistent and manually maintained medicine data introduces systemic risk.
Across India, medicine information is fragmented across distributors, pharmacies, hospitals, and disconnected digital systems. Product names, compositions, pricing, pack sizes, and classifications often differ across sources and are frequently outdated or incomplete — creating real risk across the entire care chain.
Inconsistent medicine names and codes across platforms cause billing mismatches, reconciliation failures, and financial losses across hospitals, pharmacies, and insurers daily.
When medicine names aren't standardized, digital prescriptions fail to resolve correctly at the pharmacy. Patients receive incorrect or unavailable alternatives — a direct patient safety risk.
Pharmacies and hospital systems maintain separate, manually curated medicine lists. Keeping them synchronized requires enormous effort — and they're almost always out of date.
Regulators expect traceability and auditability in digital health systems. Without a verified medicine data foundation, platforms face mounting compliance risk and audit exposure.
The issue is not lack of data — it is the absence of a uniform, authoritative reference. DrugSetu establishes a standardized, continuously updated medicine information layer owned, maintained, and verified by pharmaceutical companies for India's entire digital healthcare ecosystem.
DrugSetu provides a developer-friendly API that enables healthcare platforms to access accurate, structured, and continuously updated medicine data at scale. No scraping, no stale lists — live pharmaceutical data delivered through clean, predictable endpoints.
DrugSetu is designed to operate as a neutral platform for managing medicine information across India's digital healthcare ecosystem. Pharmaceutical companies retain ownership and control of their product information, while DrugSetu provides the structured systems needed to standardize, review, and publish this data consistently across platforms.
All updates follow defined review workflows. Data changes are tracked over time, and classification standards are maintained in alignment with regulatory and ecosystem requirements. This approach enables a shared, reliable medicine information foundation that supports interoperability and long-term consistency across healthcare systems.
DrugSetu enables pharmaceutical marketing companies to directly manage and maintain their product information — instead of relying on spreadsheets, emails, or third-party intermediaries.
Upload and manage your full product range — branded, generic, and variants — from a single dashboard.
Attach verified product images, packaging details, and pack size information to each product listing.
Manage batchwise details, barcodes*, SKUs, MRP, PTR, GST%, and variant-level pricing information.
Fields aligned with CDSCO and Digital India standards — compositions, HS codes*, manufacturing and expiry dates*, and more.
Track every submission through the structured review and approval workflow with real-time status updates.
Once approved, updates publish in real time across the API network — reaching every connected healthcare platform instantly.
DrugSetu is built to integrate into real-world healthcare systems that depend on dependable medicine information as a foundation. It fits into existing workflows across clinical, operational, regulatory, and analytical systems without disruption.
