New updates of online search functionality for the Medicinal Product Register

30.11.2017.

The Medicinal Product Register of Latvia is an online database including detailed information regarding medicinal products authorised in Latvia and in Europe via the centralised procedure, as well as medicinal products authorised in other countries, and distributed in Latvia. The database is maintained by the State Agency of Medicines (SAM) and is regularly updated with additional functionalities to allow healthcare professionals and other users to search the database more easily and gain access to information more quickly.

The Register includes an online search form. SAM informs about a new parameter added to the advanced search form – “Disease group (by ATC)” that allows searching for medicines intended for treatment of a particular group of diseases. For example, when the user starts to type “respiratory…” in the search field the Register will offer to choose one of the disease groups containing this word and by entering the full name the user will be provided with a long list of medicines intended for treatment of diseases affecting the respiratory tract.
