How the Drug Labels Filed screensaver works
The saver reads the source described above and draws it on a canvas — no account, no tracking.
Prescribing information as manufacturers file it with DailyMed, gathered key-less by the pipeline. Every medicine sold in the United States has a label on file, republished whenever anything changes, and most entries are generics being relabelled by a new distributor.
It refreshes on a schedule, so what you see stays current.
Colours and any options can be changed in settings; nothing is stored beyond your own browser.
How a drug label gets filed
DailyMed is provided to the public by the National Library of Medicine, part of the National Institutes of Health. It presents the most recent labeling that companies have submitted to the US Food and Drug Administration and that is currently in use, available as HTML, PDF and XML.
The collection is broad: prescription and over-the-counter drug labeling, biological products, certain medical devices and medical gases, animal drug labeling, and FDA-regulated but unapproved products such as some dietary supplements and cosmetics. Submissions use Structured Product Labeling, an XML standard from Health Level Seven International that carries the full labeling text along with machine-readable details such as product names, ingredients, dosage forms and packaging.
A new filing on the board only means a label was published, not that anything clinically important changed. The same ingredient can appear under many companies, because each company submits its own labeling. The collection is a record of what companies have submitted. It is not medical guidance, and anyone with a question about a medicine should read the full current label or ask a pharmacist.

Frequently asked questions
- Is this real data?
- Yes — it comes from the source named on this page and is refreshed on a schedule.
- Is a key needed?
- No. This source is fully key-less.
- Is it free?
- Yes — free, no download, in your browser.
- Why does the same drug appear under several names?
- Different companies can market products containing the same ingredient, and each submits its own labeling, so one ingredient can have many entries.
- Does a new filing mean the label’s safety information changed?
- Not necessarily. The saver only shows that a label was filed, and does not indicate what was altered.
