RxCUI is the unique RxNorm Concept Unique Identifier. It is a standardized code used to uniquely identify every drug concept in the RxNorm database.

Can I resolve a brand name to its ingredients?

Yes. First use `search_drug_concepts` to find the RxCUI for the brand name, then your AI agent can explore the related concepts to find the active ingredients.

Does this cover over-the-counter (OTC) drugs?

Yes. RxNorm includes terminology for clinical drugs, including many common over-the-counter medications and their standardized names.
