Subject: Drug-Purpose Mapping


Hi –



I’m looking to get the purpose of a drug for the rxcui’s returned by cTAKES. Is 
there a way to retrieve this from UMLS dictionary by doing a lookup? 
Alternatively, is there a database available which contain information about 
drugs and their purpose?



Here’s an example of what I’m looking for:



Generic drug name: ACETAMINOPHEN

RXCUI: 313820

Purpose: Pain reliever/fever reducer



Thanks

Sekhar Hari
