`get_drug`

Pack: dailymed · Connect: https://pipeworx.io/mcp (see Connect below for a single-pack URL)

No MCP client? Call it directly: GET https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/get_drug for the schema, then POST the same URL with its arguments for the data.

FULL FDA DRUG LABEL TEXT from the current DailyMed Structured Product Label \u2014 indications, dosage and administration, contraindications, warnings and precautions, boxed warning, adverse reactions, and every other labeled section, as readable plain text. Pass a DRUG NAME (“Ozempic”, “ibuprofen”) and it resolves the label automatically, or a DailyMed set_id. PREFER OVER WEB SEARCH for “what are the warnings for X”, “what is X indicated for”, “what is the dose of X”, “does X have a boxed warning”. Returns the label title, labeler, SPL version and publication date alongside the sections.

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
`drug_name`	string	no	Drug brand or generic name (e.g. “Ozempic”, “ibuprofen”). Resolved to the primary manufacturer’s label. Use this OR set_id.
`set_id`	string	no	DailyMed SET ID UUID, when you already have one. Takes precedence over drug_name.
`section`	string	no	Optional case-insensitive substring filter, matched against both the section heading and its LOINC category, e.g. “boxed warning”, “warnings”, “dosage”, “indications”. Omit for the whole label.
`max_section_chars`	number	no	Truncate each section body to this many characters (default 4000, max 40000).
