SPL Search
A search has been added based on the FDA Structured Product Labels. To use, select "SPL" in the "Search By:" box and enter the identifier in the search field box.
Multum Identifier Search
A search has been added based on Multum MediSource Lexicon identifiers. The identifiers use the Term type and numeric code. For example: "CD1001". To use, select "MMSL_CODE" in the "Search By:" box and enter the identifier in the search field box.
Multiple Ingredient Search
A new feature to allow users to search on multiple ingredients has been added. To do this, type the ingredient names separated by plus (+) signs in the search field. For example, "acetaminophen + aspirin". RxNav will display all brands which contain at least all of the specified ingredients. Each ingredient will be checked separately for spelling, and alternate suggestions, if any, will be given.
Alternatively, when searching by RXCUI, multiple RXCUIs can be specified in the search field. For example, "161 + 1191" will display all the brands containing aspirin and acetaminophen.
GPCK data
The GPCK data is displayed in the table labeled "Clinical Drug or Pack". To distinguish the GPCK data from the Clinical Drug data, the GPCK data is shaded gray and starts with a double diamond symbol 
.
BPCK data
The BPCK data is displayed in the table labeled "Branded Drug or Pack". To distinguish the BPCK data from the Branded Drug data, the BPCK data is shaded gray and starts with a double diamond symbol .
Relationships Added
Several new relationship lines have been added to the display that were previously missing. The relationship line has been changed to two distinct lines between the entities, and arrows have been added to indicate the directional flow of the relationships.
