Find Product Options

The options available are:

  • Search - The Search option allows you to find products quickly when you do not possess a lot of information about a product.
  • A to Z Product List - The A to Z Product List page enables you to view products indexed alphabetically by Product Name.
  • Advanced Search - The Advanced Search can be used if you possess a greater degree of information when you commence a search. It also allows you to search for a specific category of product information. If you are not sure about which specific category of product information to search for, use the simpler Search option instead.

Please see the Glossary page for definitions of terms listed on this page.

Find Product Using Search
  • Click ‘Find Product’ at the very top of any EudraPharm page.
  • Click on ‘Search’ that appears at the top of the page, if it is not already selected.
  • On the Search page, select the required domain (human or veterinary).
  • Enter a word you wish to search for in the entry field. This word is known as a ‘search query’.
  • Click the 'Search' button to begin your search.
  • A list of products that match your search criteria will be displayed.
  • You can browse the results, which may be spread over more than one page.
  • Results are divided into different languages. Therefore, you may find the product you are looking for in a different language.
  • Click on the most relevant link to view product information.
What Product Information Is Searched?
The Search function allows you to make search enquiries based on the following categories of product information:
  • Domain (i.e. human or veterinary medicines).
  • Product Name
  • Active Substance
Search Tips
The following tips will help you to optimise your search queries:
  • Ensure the correct domain is selected (i.e. human or veterinary product).
  • Try using fewer specific words, if you cannot find what you are looking for.
  • Results are divided into different languages. Therefore, you may find the product you are looking for in a different language.
  • Ensure your search query is correctly spelled. EudraPharm search functionality cannot automatically correct misspelled words and/or eliminate unrecognisable words.
  • Use an asterisk ‘*’ to replace unknown letters or parts of a word. Asterisks can be used at the beginning or end of a word, or in the middle. For example, '*cation', 'medi*', 'med*tion' and '*ica*' will all find the term ‘medication’.
  • Searches are not case-sensitive, so you may enter upper or lower-case letters.
Multi-word Search
Search and Advanced Search work differently when performing multi-word searches.
  • Using the Search function, if you enter multiple words as a search query, only products containing the exact phrase are displayed in the results section. For example, the search query ‘aaa bbb ccc’ will find only results that contain the phrase ‘aaa bbb ccc’. (Note that you may use an asterisk ‘*’ to replace any letter or part of the phrase you are unsure of.)
  • Using the Advanced Search function, the search query 'aaa bbb ccc' will find all results that contain the exact phrase 'aaa bbb ccc' OR 'aaa' AND/OR 'bbb' AND/OR 'ccc'. To do an exact-phrase search, you must put your search query inside double quotation marks. For example, the search query "aaa bbb ccc" will find only results that contain exactly that phrase. Note that you can also search for several phrases in combination, as in this example: "aaa bbb ccc" "yyy zzz". (Note also that you may use an asterisk '*' to replace any letter or part of the phrase you are unsure of.)
  • If a multi-word search does not find the results you were expecting (whether using the Search or the Advanced Search function), try using just a single word in your search query instead.
