Reed Technology and Information Services Inc., a LexisNexis business, has announced the introduction of LabelDataPlus – a drug label database available on the web for both industry and consumer use. LabelDataPlus offers more than 5,000 current and archived FDA-approved drug labels with search features that seek to unlock the information contained in the labels (package inserts). This data is typically found on the National Library of Medicine’s DailyMed website.
According to the company, for the first time, users can search across a broad range of data using LabelDataPlus to identify drug information that meets one or multiple criteria for both prescription and over-the-counter medications. The ability to identify drug information by multiple criteria is seen to represent an important breakthrough for professionals in the life sciences, pharmaceutical, medical and health information industries, as well as for consumers.
Highlights of LabelDataPlus include the ability to perform full-text searching across all label content, not just by brand or generic drug names; search current and archived versions of drug labels and quickly see results with user search term(s) highlighted; focus searches on specific label sections, such as sponsor, active and inactive ingredients, indications and usage, and contraindications; perform complex searches with the flexibility to use multiple search criteria; and identify a pill based on its physical characteristics.
Reed Technology seeks to provide a broad range of digital asset management services for both commercial and government clients. For pharmaceutical and other life sciences manufacturers, it provides fully validated Structured Product Labeling (SPL) and Product Information Management (PIM) conversions and related content management services. In addition, the company offers downstream manufacturing and marketing publishing composition services directly from the SPL XML. For the US Patent and Trademark Office, Reed Tech processes all patent applications filed each year.
