How it works

What a product page contains
A product page can contain more than a name and a code. It may include descriptions, features, categories, packaging information, packshots and other images. The data varies by product.
Each type of product needs different information.
For medicines, side effects and interactions matter; for food, nutritional values; for cosmetics, the ingredients. Explore four examples of public product pages that webshops, apps and screens can show to consumers directly.
Frequently asked questions
What is included in a Medipim product page?
A product page can contain product codes, references, descriptions, features, categories, packaging information, images and other media. Which fields are filled in varies by product.
Can I view a sample product page?
Yes. This page links to four public product pages: a medicine, a nutritional product, a cosmetic product and a medical device. See how the information differs by product type, from side effects and interactions to nutritional values and statutory text.
Is there a public page and a page for pharmacists?
Yes. The public product page is ready to use in webshops, apps and other applications that show it to consumers. It displays what a patient or customer needs: name, brand, description, indications, use, composition and storage. The product page for pharmacists, which you can open in connected pharmacy software, goes further. It also shows reference codes such as CNK and EAN, categories, descriptions for different audiences, packaging information, indicative prices and alternative products, and lets you report a correction directly.
Can I also view the data behind the product page?
Yes. The Belgian API documentation shows the structure and fields behind the product pages.
Are product pages tailored to the Belgian market?
Yes. Medipim prepares product information for the Belgian pharmacy market. The products and fields available depend on the information available for each product.
How often is product information updated?
Every day. Medipim imports new images and product information daily. Once a change from our sources has been imported, it is available on the platform and through the API.
What happens when packaging changes?
As soon as we know that packaging has changed, we arrange for new images to be taken. Medipim photographs products in weekly cycles: we tell you which products we need, they are picked and then photographed. If the product is in stock at Febelco, where one of our photo studios is located, the new photo is usually online within a week. Otherwise, we request images from the manufacturer.
Another question? Ask us
Provide or use product information?
Manufacturers submit their product information once. Medipim checks and processes it, so pharmacies, wholesalers, online shops and software providers can immediately work with usable data. No one has to look up, photograph, enter or correct the same information over and over again. That saves time across the entire supply chain.
