sfda_drug_approvals

Pack: sfda-drugs · 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/sfda_drug_approvals for the schema, then POST the same URL with its arguments for the data.

Recent SFDA drug approvals in Saudi Arabia (sourced from www.sfda.gov.sa/en/new-sfda-drug-approvals): request type, drug type, trade name, scientific name, strength, dosage form, approval date. Newest first. Note: the SFDA leaves approval_date blank on the newest rows for a while — an empty date means SFDA has not published it yet, not a missing drug.

Parameters
