There seems to be some fuzzy matching logic gone awry. I searched for "insulin" and it brought me to "inulin" which are very different things.

For sure, searched cipro and it pulled up Benzyl alcohol lol......
Cipro has a benzene ring and an OH group, so it's practically the same thing if you squint a little.
Seems like the entry on Drugbank for insulin is "insulin human", which explains why it doesn't return an immediate match. The closest match using Levenshtein distance is "inulin" instead.

Thanks for pointing that out :) I'll have to do some tweaking.
