The current OpenFDA Adverse Event dataset isn't really well suited for a query like that. An API for the drug SPLs (Structured Product Labels) is coming soon according to https://open.fda.gov/about/ though.

For now, check out the following resources for the data you're looking for:

  • Mark, Which one will you suggest if I want to use DrugName, Drug Description, Manufacturer, Drug Image, along with Side Effects. I tried to look at all API but I can't find everything at one request.

  • @SanthoshKumar - not being able to get it all in one API call is pretty much the situation at this moment. You might also want to look at mor.nlm.nih.gov/RxMix ... If you want more 1:1 help, you can definitely contact me privately as this is what I do for a living.

  • @Orest : If you have additional questions, it's best to ask it in a new question, as there may be someone else who can answer.

I would say to use the drugbank database of drugnames . They are more upto dates. I played with the NLM pillbox data found some names like venetoclax doesn't even listed. Drugbank drug names are more generic.
