A read-only API with brands, generics, strengths, dosage forms, manufacturers and MRP for Bangladesh's medicines, checked against the DGDA register.

Where does the data come from?

The DGDA register is the core. Other sources add prices and details, and each value keeps the source and date it came from. People review new medicines, DAR matches and changed prices before they reach the API.

Does Oushodh give medical advice?

No. Oushodh describes medicines. It never suggests a dose, a treatment or a substitute, and nothing it returns is medical advice.

How do I keep my copy up to date?

Fetch every medicine once, then pass updated_since to get only the medicines changed since your last sync, oldest first. A medicine is never deleted and an ID never points to another medicine, so your copy never has to delete.

Can I use my own ID format?

Yes. Each client gets IDs in its own ID profile, and a lookup by an old ID still finds the medicine.

How do I get an API key?

Create an account at app.oushodh.dev and choose a plan. Then make your API keys and ID profiles yourself in the member portal; a key works at once.

Data, not advice

Oushodh describes medicines. It never suggests a dose or a treatment.

FOR AGENCIES AND DEVELOPERS

A read-only API that is easy to sync

Fetch every medicine once, then ask only for what changed. Build it into a pharmacy POS, a clinic system or an app for many clients.

Sync only what changed

Pass updated_since and get the medicines changed since your last sync, oldest first.

IDs in your own format

Each client gets IDs in its own ID profile. A lookup by an old ID still finds the medicine.

Never deleted, never reused

A medicine is never removed and an ID never points to another medicine, so your copy never has to delete.
