Daily Med is a website operated by the U.S. National Library of Medicine (NLM) to publish up to date and accurate drug labels (also called a "package insert") to health care providers and the general public. The contents of DailyMed is provided and updated daily by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The FDA in turn collects this information from the pharmaceutical industry.
The documents published use the HL7 version 3 Structured Product Labeling (SPL) standard, which is an XML format that combines the human readable text of the product label with structured data elements that describe the composition, form, packaging, and other properties of the drug products in detail according to the HL7 Reference Information Model (RIM).
As of February 17, 2009, it contained information about 4356 drugs.[1]
It includes an RSS feed for updated drug information.[2]
