====== Browse ======

The Browse tab lets you explore the NDC database using filters without a search query. This is useful for discovering all products matching specific criteria.

===== How to Browse =====

  - Tap the **Browse** tab
  - Select one or more filters using the filter chips or the filter sheet
  - Products matching your filters appear in alphabetical order
  - Tap any result to view the full [[ndc-lookup:product-detail|product detail]]

===== Available Filters =====

  * **Dosage Form** — Tablet, capsule, solution, injection, cream, etc.
  * **Route** — Oral, topical, intravenous, ophthalmic, etc.
  * **DEA Schedule** — Filter by controlled substance schedule (I–V)
  * **Marketing Category** — NDA, ANDA, OTC monograph, etc.

===== Browsing vs Searching =====

  * **Search** uses full-text search to match your query across drug names, NDCs, ingredients, and labelers. Filters narrow those results.
  * **Browse** shows all products that match the selected filters, ordered alphabetically by drug name. No search query is needed.

Use Browse when you want to see everything in a category, for example all Schedule II oral tablets.
