The application provides an easy way for you to find the generic drug name associated with a trade name that you provide, or the trade name associated with the generic name that you provide. This feature is available only if the mapping of trade and generic names has been defined as part of preparing source data for use in the application. For more information, see your data release notes.
1. Click the Data Mining Results tab.
The Select Criteria page appears.
2. Click Trade/Generic Lookup.
The Search for Trade/Generic Name dialog box appears.
3. In the Search String field, type a drug name. You can use the % sign as a wildcard character to match zero or more characters in that position. This field is not case-sensitive; for example, if you enter F%IC ACID, both Folinic acid and Folic acid match even though they use mixed case.
4. Click Search.
The first 100 drug names (in either the GENERIC_NAME or TRADE_NAME column) that start with, end with, or include the text string are listed.
5. To sort the results by generic or trade name, click the column name.
6. To dismiss the dialog box, click Cancel.
