Tools: 3

France’s official public medicines database (BDPM — “Base de Donnees Publique des Medicaments”), published by ANSM/CNAM: every authorized specialty (CIS), its CIP13 pack presentations with reimbursement rate and price, active-substance composition, HAS SMR/ASMR opinions (service medical rendu / amelioration du service medical rendu) and generic-group membership. Fleet #2933.

The BDPM is published as bulk tables rather than an API, so Pipeworx keeps a weekly-refreshed copy of the official tables. This is the French national list with reimbursement data, distinct from the EU-level eu-ctis / ema-medicines packs, which cover EU-centralized authorizations and clinical-trial information rather than France’s own AMM (autorisation de mise sur le marche) and Assurance Maladie reimbursement rates.

Tools

• fr_medicine(cis?, name?) — one medicine by its CIS code or exact official denomination: marketing-authorization status, every CIP13 presentation (pack size, reimbursement rate, price before/after dispensing fee), active-substance composition, SMR/ASMR opinions, any “usage professionnel” restriction, and generic-group membership if it belongs to one. For a partial/fuzzy name, use fr_medicine_search first to find the CIS.
• fr_medicine_search(name?, substance?, limit?) — search by the start of a medicine’s name and/or an active substance (prefix match only — “DOLIPRANE” finds “DOLIPRANE 1000 mg…” but not “CODOLIPRANE”). Pass both to intersect. Returns CIS, denomination, holder and marketing status per match.
• fr_generic_group(group_id) — one generic group’s full membership (the reference/princeps specialty plus every generic and substitutable generic), from the group_id a fr_medicine response returns.

Every response carries data_as_of (the week the mirror was last refreshed), source and licence.

Reading reimbursement rate

taux_remboursement is per CIP13 presentation, not per CIS — different pack sizes of the same medicine can carry different rates, and a presentation that is marketed-but-not-reimbursed returns null. fr_medicine’s top-level reimbursement_rates is the distinct set across all of a medicine’s presentations, for a quick answer when they all agree.

Generic groups

type on a group member: 0 = princeps (reference specialty), 1 = generic, 2 = generic (range complement), 4 = substitutable generic (type_label spells these out). A meaningful fraction of CIS codes in the generic-group table (~23% measured 2026-10-11) reference specialties that have since been withdrawn and no longer appear in the medicines table — fr_generic_group still lists them (by CIS and type) with denomination: null rather than silently dropping them, since the group composition itself is still accurate.

Auth

Keyless. The tools answer only through the Pipeworx gateway, which holds the copy of the tables; a standalone npm install has no data to read, and every tool throws a clear “not bound in this runtime” error there instead of returning an empty list.

Data sources

• ANSM/CNAM, Base de Donnees Publique des Medicaments (BDPM) — the seven official BDPM tables (specialties, presentations, composition, HAS SMR and ASMR opinions, generic groups, prescribing restrictions), joined on CIS code. Every response carries data_as_of (the week the copy was last refreshed).

Licence: Licence Ouverte / Open Licence v1.0 (Etalab, October 2011) — free to reproduce, copy, publish, transmit, redistribute, adapt, modify and exploit commercially, including combined with other data or embedded in a product, on condition of mentioning the source and the date of its last update — exactly the source + data_as_of every response here carries. Reciting it does not confer official status or imply ANSM/CNAM endorsement of this reuse.

The prescribing-restriction (“usage professionnel”) table has far more rows than there are medicines, because the same CIS can carry several restriction texts (dentistry, hospital-only, etc); fr_medicine returns the distinct set.

Tools

• fr_medicine — One French medicine (BDPM) by CIS code or exact name: presentations, composition, SMR/ASMR, reimbursement.
• fr_medicine_search — Search BDPM medicines by name prefix and/or active substance.
• fr_generic_group — BDPM generic group membership (princeps + generics) by group id.
