Re: [Gnumed-devel] Rethinking Medications… more th an just a snapshot list

[Rogerio Luz Coelho]

I will have my Family Practice Speciality Test  in early December (am not hoping much ... had little time to prepare with the new baby and all) but after that I will try to contact the Brasilian ANVISA (same as FDA) to see how can they send me (if at all) this data. 

If they will send me anything, how should I format it to fit the FreeDiams?

Aaaah, you mean "form" as in "template". I was thinking you
meant "a form of" linking to a drug DB with prescribing :-)

Those *can* be modelled with LaTeX and I would support
efforts to do so.

Exactly. That is the problem.

We would either need a (commercial/whatever) database
application which offers an interface for retrieving drug
data (and maybe even handle prescribing). This would be like
Gelbe Liste/MMI in Germany.

Or else we would need a dependable *raw* data source such
that it can be linked into FreeDiams.
