# Drug Description Dataset (Educational Use)

## Dataset Overview

This dataset contains **985 samples** of drug-related information intended **strictly for educational and research purposes**.

Each sample consists of:
- **DrugName** – Name of the drug
- **Description** – A textual description of the drug

The dataset is suitable for **fine-tuning Large Language Models (LLMs)** on drug-related text understanding, summarization, or question-answering tasks in a **non-clinical setting**.

## Data Source & Generation

- Drug names were **manually selected by the author** using publicly available medical information websites.
- Descriptions were **synthetically generated using Google Gemini** based on the selected drug names.

Reference websites used for drug names:
- https://www.rxlist.com/
- https://www.drugs.com/

> ⚠️ The generated descriptions are **not verified by medical professionals**.
