The medicine guide is a shared database of tens of thousands of Egyptian medicines, useful for adding, searching and finding substitutes.
What will you find?
- Name, strength and dosage form and the manufacturer.
- Active ingredients (to find substitutes).
- Barcodes to make scanning easy.
- Market prices, their history and pack photos, updated automatically from public sources.
- A drug information page: uses, doses, warnings and interactions, summarised from approved drug labels (such as the US FDA labels).
How to use it
- Open the medicine guide and search by name, barcode or active ingredient.
- Open the medicine to see its details, substitutes and your stock of it.
- If it is not in your pharmacy, press Add to my inventory and enter the price.
Substitutes
The guide lists medicines with the same active ingredient and strength. In Prescriptions and the point of sale they are suggested when the requested item is out.
Is there a mistake in a medicine's data?
Press Suggest a correction on the medicine's page and the Dawak team will review it. If you cannot find a medicine, add it to your stock as your own product and the team is told so it can add it to the guide.
Note: the medicine information is for help and does not replace the drug reference or the doctor.
