7-day free trial

Drug interaction API free trial

Check drug-drug interactions with FDA-sourced data. 2,000 requests per month on the Developer plan — free for 7 days. Severity scoring and evidence citations included.

What happened to the free options?

Developers building drug interaction features used to have several no-cost options. That landscape has changed dramatically:

January 2, 2024
Discontinued

NLM RxNav Drug Interaction API

The National Library of Medicine discontinued its free Drug Interaction API with only 30 days notice. This left thousands of developers scrambling to find replacements.

March 25, 2026
Retiring

DrugBank Interaction Checker (Free Tier)

DrugBank announced the retirement of its free Interaction Checker API. Academic projects and small-scale healthcare apps need a new solution.

Still Active
Raw Data Only

openFDA Drug Label API

The openFDA API provides free access to drug label text, but requires building your own extraction pipeline to structure interaction data — a weeks-to-months engineering effort.

What the free trial includes

Full Developer plan access for 7 days — everything you need to build and test drug interaction features.

2,000 API requests per month

Full Developer plan quota to validate your integration and build a working prototype.

5 API keys

Generate keys from your dashboard for dev, staging, and production environments.

Structured JSON responses

Clean, documented response format with drug pairs, severity, and mechanisms.

Drug name resolution via RxNorm

Send generic names, brand names, or NDC codes — we resolve them all.

Severity scoring (5 levels)

Contraindicated, major, moderate, minor, and unknown classifications.

Evidence citations

Every interaction includes SPL Set ID and label section references for audit trails.

Self-service developer portal

Manage your API keys, view usage dashboards, and configure restrictions.

Email support
