Description

This is a lightweight Python library for finding drug names in a string, otherwise known as named entity recognition (NER) and named entity linking.

Please note this library finds only high confidence drugs and doesn't support misspellings at present.

It also only finds the English names of these drugs. Names in other languages are not supported.

It also doesn't find short code names of drugs, such as abbreviations commonly used in medicine, such as "Ceph" for "Cephradin" - as these are highly ambiguous.
