Is German

        Drug name (INN), ATC

anywhere freely available? A table containing the above could serve as the 
basis for a mapping to the German-language page of the

What the above site offers, for each of the drugs listed, is:

        Qo which is fraction excreted extra-renally
        Adverse effects of use in renal failure (if known)
        Calculator (some drug pages, e.g. Mannitol)
        References

I have contacted the site (email link) to see if they are interested to make it 
easier for outside programs to link.

In the meantime I saved the drugs from the drug list page (Google translated 
into French) and cleaned it up... it is not perfect e.g. some drugs with 
umlauts (e.g. Acetylsalicylsäure) did not Google translate into French.

It would be fantastic --- in the presence of user internet access --- to 
generate from FreeDIams (or GNUmed locale / db) a language-contextual Google 
translate callout to the matching drug page (if exists) at

        www.dosing.de

... I would suggest a per-user record of whether they were recorded to have 
previously been passed through the dosing.de disclaimer page after which they 
could be passed directly to the page of interest.
