Data & sources

What this app knows

A personal medicine lookup for registered Pakistani products. It combines the DRAP register with clearly labelled foreign clinical references and a non-commercial interaction dataset.

Medicine record

Brand, registration number, composition, dosage form, manufacturer, packs and listed price come from the DRAP registered-products index and case file. The price index is a regulatory listing, not live pharmacy stock or a retail quote.

Clinical information

Clinical sections are matched by active ingredient to a US FDA label. They describe the foreign product, not the Pakistani approval. Foreign dosage and overdose sections are deliberately hidden. A curated Pakistan PIL/SMPC can replace the foreign sections per registration through data/local-labels/.

ATC classification comes from RxNav/RxClass. Known interactions come from DDInter 2.0 (CC BY-NC-SA 4.0); the two-medicine checker expands each composition and looks up every ingredient pair. A missing row is not evidence that a combination is safe.

What it cannot tell you

  • Whether a pharmacy has stock, or what it charges at the counter.
  • Whether a physical pack is authentic; batch numbers and DRAP alerts are separate.
  • Pakistani dosing until a local PIL/SMPC has been curated.
  • That a foreign label or foreign listing is equivalent to a Pakistani approval.

Source status

DRAP's public case files exposed 0 SMPC tracking IDs in an 80-record sample, so local clinical coverage is currently a curation task, not an automatic scrape. The app shows an explicit unavailable state instead of inventing content.
