How this page is built

The facts on this page are pulled directly from the HPRA's (Health Products Regulatory Authority) official open dataset — they are not written from memory, and nothing here is summarised or edited. Each field below names the dataset it came from, so you can check it yourself.

This page is built automatically: a daily sync job downloads HPRA's published XML export and copies the licence number, holder, active substance(s), dosage form, route, ATC code(s), authorisation date and prescription status directly into this page — no AI drafting and no per-product editorial pass. The “last verified” date above is the timestamp of that sync, not a review date. Our general editorial approach is described in our editorial standards and corrections policy. The HPRA data on this page was last retrieved on 8 Oct 2026. How every register is built: methodology · fixes we have made: corrections log.

Please verify before you rely on this. This page is general information for life-science and pharmaceutical professionals. It is not medical advice, and it has not been reviewed by a clinician — our editorial team holds life-science qualifications, not clinical ones. It is not exhaustive and may not reflect the most recent label change. Always check the official prescribing information (US Prescribing Information or EU SmPC) and speak to your doctor or pharmacist before acting on anything here. Drugs in the same class are not automatically interchangeable, and approvals, brand names and indications differ between the US, the EU/Ireland (EMA/HPRA) and other regions. Spotted an error? Tell us — we correct promptly and log it.
