The Narcotics Information Database contains information on a total of 582 substances, including 142 types of narcotics, 300 types of psychotropic drugs, 3 types of cannabis, 100 types of temporary narcotics, and 37 types of raw materials. The database allows searches by various methods such as substance name, chemical name, CAS number, molecular formula, and aliases.

It also provides explanations on narcotics, temporary narcotics, and raw materials, legal information, misuse prevention card news, campaign videos, and a glossary. However, information necessary for narcotics management but potentially subject to abuse if disclosed, such as pharmacology, toxicity, and dependency, is separately provided only to relevant government officials.

The Narcotics Information Database can be accessed by searching on internet portal sites or by clicking the banner on the website of the National Institute of Food and Drug Safety Evaluation.
