# Oushodh

> Oushodh is a read-only medicine data API for Bangladesh. It gives brands, generics, strengths, dosage forms, manufacturers and MRP for Bangladesh's medicines, checked against the DGDA register. Agencies and developers use it to build pharmacy, clinic and health apps.

- The DGDA register is the core. Other sources add prices and details, and each value keeps the source and date it came from.
- A value no source gives is `null`. The API never returns a blank, a zero or an estimate in its place.
- People review new medicines, DAR matches and changed prices before they reach the API.
- Oushodh describes medicines. It never suggests a dose or a treatment.
- A medicine is never deleted, and an ID never points to another medicine.
