# 💊 Drug named entity recognition
# 💊 Drug Named Entity Recognition

Developed by Fast Data Science, https://fastdatascience.com

Source code at https://github.com/fastdatascience/drug_named_entity_recognition

Tutorial at https://fastdatascience.com/drug-named-entity-recognition-python-library/

This is a lightweight Python library for finding drug names in a string, otherwise known as [named entity recognition (NER)](https://fastdatascience.com/named-entity-recognition/) and named entity linking.
This is a lightweight Python [natural language processing](https://naturallanguageprocessing.com/applications-nlp-use-cases-business-solutions/) library for finding drug names in a string, otherwise known as [named entity recognition (NER)](https://fastdatascience.com/named-entity-recognition/) and named entity linking. This can be used for analysing unstructured text documents such as [clinical trial protocols](https://clinicaltrialrisk.org/clinical-trial-protocol-software/) or other [unstructured data in biopharma](https://harmonydata.ac.uk/data-harmonisation/data-harmonisation-in-biopharma/).

Please note this library finds only high confidence drugs.

**New in version 2.0.0: we can support misspellings by using fuzzy matching!**

It also only finds the English names of these drugs. Names in other languages are not supported.
It also only finds the English names of these drugs. Names [in other languages](https://fastdatascience.com/natural-language-processing/multilingual-natural-language-processing/) are not supported.

It also doesn't find short code names of drugs, such as abbreviations commonly used in medicine, such as "Ceph" for "Cephradin" - as these are highly ambiguous.

# 💻Installing drug named entity recognition Python package
# 💻Installing Drug Named Entity Recognition Python package

You can install from [PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/drug-named-entity-recognition).
You can install Drug Named Entity Recognition from [PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/drug-named-entity-recognition).

```
pip install drug-named-entity-recognition
```

If you get an error installing, try making a new Python environment in Conda (`conda create -n test-env; conda activate test-env`) or Venv (`python -m testenv; source testenv/bin/activate` / `testenv\Scripts\activate`) and then installing the library.

The library already contains the drug names so if you don't need to update the dictionary, then you should not have to run any of the download scripts.
