Medicine Equivalents

Prescription and over-the-counter medications are sold under different names in different countries. As a result, travelers, international students and expatriates often report trouble finding medical products that they trust.

This API provides equivalents for over 400 medicines in 42 countries. The details often include the form of the medicine as well (tablets, capsules, sizes, etc.). Each medicine is referenced by its generic chemical compound, and the API will also let you know if an equivalent is not available or the availability is unknown.
