The reference German pharmaceutical product master

The reference German pharmaceutical product master: every medicine authorised in Germany plus medical devices, wound dressings and other pharmaceutical products, curated into a prescriber-facing classification layer. Delivered as a headless webservice rather than a UI, and specifically structured to satisfy the content requirements for KBV certification of the drug database inside practice-management software — which means it carries the prescribability and statutory benefit-entitlement coding that prescribing systems must check against, not just product descriptions. Also includes active-ingredient and therapeutic classification, PZN product identity, and the validation layer that has already let multiple practice-software vendors obtain KBV certification off this data.

Type: not stated
Format: Machine-readable web service: SOAP and REST APIs with object generation for near-any programming environment, offered as on-premises per-workstation, central practice or hospital-wide installation, or via the vendor's 'medic' cloud. Java-based service tier; HTML5 and mobile app integration explicitly supported.
Volume: Order of 100,000-200,000 product records (the full German PZN universe of authorised medicines, medical devices and dressings) plus classification and restriction metadata per product, with full refresh cycles. Compact in rows; the value is in the curation layer and its certification-grade correctness, not volume.
Users: Not consumer scale — licensed seats embedded in downstream software. Estimate thousands to tens of thousands of end-user practices and clinics reached indirectly, via the multiple practice-management-system vendors that have certified their drug databases on this data plus hospitals, authorities and corporate licensees (inferred from the stated multi-vendor certification track record and the German practice-software installed base)
History: not stated
Update frequency: not stated
Growth: Mature and steadily maintained — an established reference database with a proven multi-vendor certification track record and a cloud migration path (the 'medic' hosted service) alongside the traditional on-premises installation. The documented minimum runtime is an end-of-life Java version, which signals a long-lived core codebase being maintained rather than a fast-iterating product.
Launched: Late 1990s to 2000s for the Pharmindex product family as the company's established German drug database; the PRO webservice variant and its 'medic' cloud came later, roughly the 2010s. No dates are printed on the page.
