List of drugs for sample data

Question

Where can I find a list of common medical drugs? Researching and typing 150+ drug names would be quite inefficient.

In general, are there any sites which have a list of items for developers to use in applications? For example, you can download dictionaries in specific formats (e.g. XML) for use in word games.

Answer 1

This site provides a lot of drug names. You can search the database, or download the entire thing as a 4 Meg zip file which expands to simple text format

Edit: The actual download link is at the bottom under 'Additional Information'
