Dataset: Obtained from FDA AERS

I would like to map the drug names to its generic name.

Example: Arthritis Pain, Aspir 81, Aspir-Low, Bayer Childrens Aspirin etc would be mapped to aspirin

Is there a dataset where such mappings are available(preferably in CSV format) so that it is possible to iterate through the FDA AERS dataset and replace the drug name with their generics.

  • Here are all the generic names to start with. I don't know OpenFDA, but maybe you can go from there in the other direction, i.e. querying for brand names associated with generic names.

  • @JanDoggen Yes, I went through them, but I wanted to know if someone in the community knew of the availability of such database.

We at openFDA are unaware of such dataset, but you could probably compile such mappings by a) downloading openFDA FAERS JSON files, b) writing a quick tool that goes over the records and puts the mappings together.
