RxNorm Drug Names - INI

RxNorm is a standardized nomenclature for clinical drugs developed and maintained by the U.S. National Library of Medicine (NLM). It provides normalized names for medications based on active ingredients, strengths, and dose forms, enabling interoperability between different drug vocabularies. RxNorm connects to major drug databases including First Databank, Micromedex, Multum, and Gold Standard Drug Database, and is adopted as a standard for federal government systems.
