Looks up FDA drug labels, NDC directory entries, indications, boxed warnings, and recalls/enforcement actions via the free public OpenFDA API to enrich drugs that OpenMed extracts. Use when the user wants the prescribing information for a drug, its boxed warning, approved indications, dosage forms and routes, package NDC codes, RxCUI, or whether a product has an open recall. Trigger keywords: OpenFDA, drug label, SPL, prescribing information, boxed warning, black box warning, indications, NDC…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Querying OpenFDA drug labels, NDC, and recalls Once OpenMed has pulled a drug name out of a note, you often need authoritative product facts: the **boxed warning**, approved **indications**, **dosage form / route**, package **NDC** codes, and whether the product is under **recall**. The FDA's **OpenFDA** API exposes the Structured Product Labeling (SPL), the NDC directory, and enforcement (recall) reports — all **public and free**. This skill is enrichment: it attaches regulatory facts to an extracted drug. It is **not** clinical decision support — a label lookup informs a human, it does not prescribe. ## When to use - You extracted a drug and need its **boxed warning** or **indications** for display, alerting, or expectedness checks. - You need **NDC** package codes, dosage form, or route for a product. - You want to know if a drug/lot is under an **open recall** (enforcement). - You want to map a brand name to its generic ingredient and **RxCUI** via the label's `openfda` block. ## The three endpoints | Endpoint | Use | Key fields | | --- | --- | --- | …

How to install
mdr add maziyarpanahi/openmed/querying-openfda-labels@sha256:2ee2fd3f6bd37f6dThe line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
