Looking at the site again, most of the information to navigate
their drug database is accessible via html source.
e.g.
>From the html page showing the start letters for drug browsing
extract the hrefs for each letter.
Visiting the hrefs, there is a list of drugs, with information urls.
Since there are multiple pages per letter , visit each page and iterate
the drug visiting.
Basically it's visiting the entire web tree using a robot.
Seems to be stateless, but if there is a server log, they could get
cranky.
Maybe some tool like wget can do it already, but as Ian said, that
may be stretching the legality.
