The following link is part of wikipedia and has a Medical section which provides excellent information on various drugs, fillers, conditions...
You name it, they probably list it or an abbreviation of it.

I had to jump back and forth in this website.
First, I entered a drug name. Then I found its current manufacturer. If I was lucky, that manufacturer would have extra documentation listing its ingredients. I would then type an ingredient back into the link I gave you and it would give a definition of that ingredient.

An example- One drug listed 'microcrystalline cellulose' in its ingredients. I just entered that in the search line and it would give information.
