  1. I would be interested in your product database https://products.mhra.gov.uk/. As it is very difficult to download the information from the website, I was wondering if you collect it in another format such as Excel, this could be very useful (also the FDA does it). Specifically, I would need information from labels on where medicines are produced. For example, a table with BNF Presentation Name, year and manufacturing country.
