What is an RXCUI?

An RxCUI is machine readable unique identifier that defines the same common concept. Every name and code provided to the National Library of Medicine receives an RXCUI. Drug products that map to the same RxCUI are considered the same drug while drugs that are distinct will have different RxCUIs.

What is a Term Type (TTY)?

Term Types (TTYs) are used to specify the level of complexity of each RxCUI term.
