Search Drugs - Simplex

search_drugs fuzzy-searches the fax-PA drug catalog and returns canonical full_name strings suitable for drug_info.medication_strength on Fill Prior Authorization. The catalog currently covers Wegovy, Ozempic, Zepbound, and Mounjaro — all SKUs. Matching is case-insensitive with exact > prefix > substring > token/fuzzy ranking.

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
`query`	string	yes	Partial or full drug name (e.g. `"wegovy"`, `"zepbound 5mg"`, `"mounjaro auto-injectors"`).
`limit`	integer	no	Max matches to return (1–50). Defaults to 10.

Example

Python
TypeScript

from simplex import SimplexClient

client = SimplexClient()

matches = client.search_drugs(query="wegovy 1mg")
for m in matches:
    print(m["full_name"])

import { SimplexClient } from "simplex-ts";

const client = new SimplexClient();

const matches = await client.searchDrugs({ query: "wegovy 1mg" });
for (const m of matches) {
  console.log(m.fullName);
}

Response

Each match is an object with a single full_name field — the canonical Brand Strength Form string.

[
  { "full_name": "Wegovy 1 mg/0.5 mL pen-injectors" },
  { "full_name": "Wegovy 1.7 mg/0.75 mL pen-injectors" }
]

Next step

Pass the resolved full_name as drug_info.medication_strength when you call Fill Prior Authorization, or use the drug_name (e.g. "wegovy") in Get Clinical Questions.
