drug databases

["paul van den berg" <paulbvdberg@gmail.com>]

Hello,

as a pharmacoepidemiologist I regularly use drug databases. Most of them are non-free,
but the ATC/DDD system is available free of charge.
I have a shell script to wget the data from 
http://www.whocc.no/atcddd and a perl-script
to convert it in a mysql database. Anyone interested? 

Since 1 jan 2008 the European Medicines Agency (EMEA) http://www.emea.europa.eu/
publishes all public information under a CC-like license. 
I could make something similar to get this information in a database..

Regards, Paul
