Problem Statement

If we don't put any date limits on our modules, patients in 1901 are going to be getting modern medications.

Criteria for Success

Some automated way to query FDA to link first available date of drug application to a product RXCUI or NDC.

Additional Information

See example here: https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cder/daf/index.cfm?event=overview.process&ApplNo=075743
Original approval date = 07/01/2002

A lot of modules list this in the remarks: https://github.com/synthetichealth/synthea/blob/master/src/main/resources/modules/medications/moderate_opioid_pain_reliever.json

    "Availability dates for different drugs came from the FDA: ",
    "http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cder/daf/",
    "Dosage information came from FDA reference sheets available at: ",
    "https://www.drugs.com/dosage/",
    "The following medications are prescribed in this module. Most opioids were invented ",
    "during or prior to WWII, but did not become widely available until after the war:",
    "1. Meperidine (Demerol)                      available after 1945      ",
    "2. Hydrocodone/Acetaminophen (Vicondin)      available after 1943      ",
    "3. Oxycodone/Acetaminophen (Percocet)        available after 1920 (est)"
