If you're interested in this, you should also check out the UMLS published by the National Institutes of Health.

https://www.nlm.nih.gov/research/umls/

It's a very big semantic database of health terminology. Among other things, it has a subset called RxNorm that contains all currently prescribe-able prescription drugs.

I've been very impressed with it and I feel like not enough people have heard of it.
