Search Saudi Arabia registered human drugs with official SFDA prices in SAR. Scans the SFDA registered-drugs price list (sourced from www.sfda.gov.sa/en/drugs-list, ~14,000+ drugs across ~1,400 pages of 15-20 rows) and filters rows locally by scientific (generic) or trade name, because the SFDA site currently ignores its own search parameters. A single call scans a bounded window of pages, so to search the whole list keep calling with the returned next_page until done:true or you have enough matches. Omit query to simply browse pages in order. Each row carries a details ref for sfda_drug_details.

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
`query`	string	no	Case-insensitive substring matched against scientific name AND trade name (e.g. “metformin”, “panadol”). Omit to list rows unfiltered.
`start_page`	number	no	Zero-indexed page of the SFDA list to start scanning from. Default 0.
`pages_to_scan`	number	no	How many consecutive pages to scan in this call (1-30). Default 10.
