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.
- HPRA Authorised Medicines List (open data) ↗ Licence number, holder, active substance(s), dosage form, route, ATC code(s), authorisation date and prescription status for this product
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.
