ChatSmPC & ChatPIL

Answers from the SmPC, and the passage they came from

ChatSmPC® and ChatPIL® answer questions from the text of the official summary of product characteristics and the package leaflet, analyse the content and can point you to the source behind the answer. A reading aid for your qualified staff, not a replacement for their check. Translations, for example into English, come automatically.

Do you know these problems?

Fear of invented answers

Even in the business account there are strong hallucinations, really with things that are not on the source page and so on.

Manager, online pharmacy group

Once a tool has produced one confident sentence that was not in the document, every later sentence has to be treated as suspect. That is the expensive part: not the wrong answer itself, but the fact that nothing it says can be used without being read back against the original. A tool you have to double check completely has saved you nothing.

An answer with no source

[AI-generated answers are only usable] on the condition that the source is document-proof and that the source is actually there.

Manager, pharmaceutical manufacturer

In regulated work the answer is only half the deliverable. The other half is the ability to show where it came from, to a colleague, an auditor or an authority. An answer that arrives without its origin cannot be filed, cannot be defended, and therefore cannot be used.

Unclear responsibility

Where does the responsibility lie, and with whom? And how do you react if something happens?

Head, international pharmacy

Customers rarely open with the word liability. They open with this question, because somebody in their organisation has to put their name under the information that goes out. Until it is clear who carries that and what happens when something goes wrong, the safe decision is to keep the tool switched off.

Ask the summary of product characteristics instead of reading it

The SmPC is the document that describes the properties and the officially authorised conditions of use of a medicinal product. ChatSmPC® works on that text. You ask the specialist question and get the relevant passage back, instead of scanning the document for it.

  • Trained on checked and current drug information and product data sheets
  • Built for people who process product information and marketing authorisations
  • Answers bounded by the underlying document, not the open web

Get to the one passage of the package leaflet that matters

The PIL, in German the Packungsbeilage, is written by the marketing authorisation holder and is the patient-facing version of the SmPC. ChatPIL® works on that text. The user here is the professional who has to give an answer to a patient, not the patient.

  • Question the leaflet text instead of reading pages of it
  • Ask in one language about a document written in another
  • Available around the clock, without waiting for a human adviser

Point the same chat at your own documents

Schematic upload field for your own PDF documents on the left and the same chat on the right carrying your own logo and your own output format

Custom Chat and customAI let you train ChatSmPC® and ChatPIL® on your own data and documents and turn your knowledge base into a chatbot with your own branding. Most customers start internally, where their own staff is the only audience, and treat public embedding as a later step.

  • Upload your own PDFs and question them in the same chat
  • Define the content and the shape of the output yourself
  • Your branding, on your own interface

Traceable answers, and a human who signs them off

Schematic three step chain showing a question, an answer carrying a source reference, and the release of that answer by your qualified staff under the four eyes principle

This is the part that decides whether the rest is worth anything. We mitigate hallucination risk by limiting the answer to the content of the underlying documents, and the chat can name the source behind it. The four eyes principle stays in force on top of that.

  • Answers restricted to the content of the SmPC and PIL
  • The chat can point to the source behind an answer
  • A tool that improves the workflow, not a substitute for your check

AI answers from the SmPC and package leaflet, with the source passage

ChatSmPC® and ChatPIL® let professionals ask a question and get an answer drawn from the official summary of product characteristics or the package leaflet, together with the passage it came from. They are a reading aid for qualified staff, not a general chatbot: the answer is limited to the content of the underlying documents, and every answer is meant to be checked by a person before it is used.

Ask the SmPC instead of reading it end to end

The summary of product characteristics describes the properties and the officially authorised conditions of use of a medicine, and finding the one relevant line on dosing, a contraindication or an interaction can mean paging through a long document. ChatSmPC® lets you put the question directly and returns the specific passage, so you get to the sentence that matters and can read it in its original context.

Why the cited source is the whole point

In this industry the fear is not a slow answer, it is an invented one, and an answer with no source is unusable. The design limits that risk by narrowing what the model may draw on to the SmPC and the PIL, and by naming the source behind an answer so you can open the passage yourself. We do not claim guaranteed accuracy: what we claim is that the answer is traceable to a document you can verify.

Point the same chat at your own documents

Custom Chat and customAI let you train ChatSmPC® and ChatPIL® on your own data and documents, add your own branding and place the result in your own environment. A medical information team, for example, can turn its knowledge base into a chat that answers from approved internal sources rather than from the open web.

Where responsibility sits

The honest answer to whether you still have to check the result yourself is yes. The AI improves the workflow, it does not replace the manual check by qualified staff, and it is not built for patients. DACON has worked with drug information since 1989, so the data behind the chats is long standing even where the chat layer on top is newer.

The fastest way to judge fit is a 30-minute demo. Bring a question your team asks often and a document set you work with, and we will show what the answer and its source look like.

I work with the German Drug Pricing module every day. Dapou Pharma is a pharmaceutical wholesaler and parallel distributor and needs access to reliable and up-to-date drug prices. The best thing about pharmazie.com is that you always know which product is marketed in which country. The contact details of drug manufacturers and marketing authorization holders are also very helpful.

I currently use pharmazie.com several times a week to access the ABDA database/German SMPC drug lexicon, the archive of discontinued drugs, and international SMPC drugs. This allows me to stay up to date. I am very satisfied with the platform provided by pharmazie.com, thanks to the team!
We use the ABDA database of German finished medicinal products and international medicinal products to offer our customers, in particular pharmacies and hospitals, international procurement options for medicinal products that are not available locally (in Germany, for example, individual imports in accordance with Section 73.3 of the German Medicinal Products Act (AMG)). Thank you very much for your fast and excellent service!
The use of the ABDA database CAVE and the ABDA database Interactions is very valuable for teaching at the Pharmacological Institute because there is no other complete directory of all drugs approved in Germany. There is also no other program as good and reliable as the Cave and Interaction modules for testing for interactions, which we regularly use as part of the course tasks.
We are a supplier of medical practice supplies and use the platform for the pricing strategy of health insurance companies. We are very satisfied with pharmazie.com, because they are fast, easy to find and all products can be found through the free text search.
