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 24 Oct 2026. How every register is built: methodology · fixes we have made: corrections log.
