This is pretty good, nice work! I think you're spot on that sometimes you just need a simpler overview of info.

One thing I've noticed is that the first line under the drug name, I guess is the category? Some of them are probably a bit more specific than they need to be, like ibuprofen: https://muler.pythonanywhere.com/Ibuprofen

You could take the summary from DrugBank instead of a category, but that might have other issues too.

Either way, I'll probably come back and use this in the future!

Yeah the category is taken directly from the Drugbank dataset, which can be rather specific and arbitrary. I'll see if there's a summary like you suggest that I could use instead.

Thanks very much for the feedback :)
