Description

The National Drug File - Reference Terminology (NDF-RT) is produced by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, Veterans Health Administration (VHA). NDF-RT is an extension of the VHA National Drug File (NDF). It organizes the drug list into a formal representation. NDF-RT Reference Terminology API provides clinical information about medications, including therapeutic intent, mechanism of action, physiologic effect and drug-drug interactions. Two NDF-RT APIs (SOAP/WSDL and RESTful) are available for retrieving NDF-RT data.
