Search ITALY’s authorised medicines register (AIFA, Agenzia Italiana del Farmaco) by brand name or active ingredient: ricerca farmaci autorizzati in Italia. Returns per product and strength: brand name, active ingredients, form, route, marketing authorisation holder, status (authorised/revoked/suspended), ATC code, packs with AIC number and authorisation date, and leaflet / SmPC PDF links. Italian-first matching (use “ibuprofene”, “tachipirina”). 10 per page, 0-based page. Zero matches returns empty_reason. Keyless. Example: aifa_drug_search({ query: “tachipirina” })
Parameters
| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
query | string | yes | Brand name or active ingredient, Italian preferred, e.g. “tachipirina”, “paracetamolo” |
limit | number | no | Max results from the page, 1-10 (default and max 10: the register pages by 10) |
page | number | no | Page number, 0-based. Use next_page from the previous response. |
