We face in this paper the problem of computing distance measures between medical entities. Specifically we deal with the most challenging type of medical entity: drugs. Three different similarity measures between drugs are presented, based each one on specific dimensions of drugs description, namely textual, taxonomic and molecular information. All the information has been extracted from the same resource, the DrugBank database.
