The only standardized, continuously updated medicine database built and maintained by pharmaceutical companies for India's digital healthcare ecosystem.
DrugSetu centralizes India's drug data into a single, structured, regulatory-aligned foundation. It works as a comprehensive medicine index covering prescription medicines, OTC and FMCG products, generics, branded medicines, AYUSH products, and nutraceutical SKUs — supporting developers, hospitals, pharmacies, insurers, TPAs, and digital healthcare platforms through a real-time API and a dedicated pharmaceutical product dashboard.
Build reliable healthcare applications using India's structured medicine database API. Access a complete Indian medicine dataset that is standardized, continuously updated, and production-ready from day one.
Ensure consistent medicine listings, prescriptions, billing, inventory, and reconciliation workflows using a standardized India drug database aligned with India's pharmaceutical ecosystem.
Maintain verified product information using India's dedicated pharma database. Publish updates directly across India's digital healthcare platforms and own how your products appear everywhere.
Across India, medicine information is fragmented across distributors, pharmacies, hospitals, and disconnected digital systems. Product names, compositions, pricing, pack sizes, and classifications differ across sources and are frequently outdated — creating systemic risk across India's digital healthcare ecosystem. A standardized, continuously updated Indian drug database is no longer optional; it is foundational infrastructure.
Inconsistent medicine names and codes across platforms cause billing mismatches, reconciliation failures, and financial leakage across hospitals, pharmacies, and insurers every day.
When medicine names aren't standardized across systems, adoption of new platforms becomes difficult. Many businesses avoid migrating to a new system only because there is no uniformity of the data.
Pharmacies and hospital systems maintain separate, manually created drug data 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 Keeping them synchronized requires enormous effort — and they're almost always out of date.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 drug database for India, platforms face mounting compliance risk and audit exposure.
DrugSetu establishes a standardized, continuously updated medicine database in India — owned, maintained, and verified by pharmaceutical companies — for India's entire digital healthcare ecosystem.
Standardized medicine data ingested from creators, normalized against one CDSCO-aligned schema, and served seamlessly to every consumer platform across India.
