Good for:

Useful information on medicines in Bangladesh in Bangla and English.

How it works:

Information on medicines is in English and Bangla. Key in the name of the medicine and the result will show the strength of the given dosage (for example 250mg per capsule), ingredient components, manufacturer and price. 

‘Indications’ show what conditions the medicine is used for. 

‘Pharmacology’ explains what the ingredient components are and how they work. For example, paracetamol and caffeine in Ace Plus, and how these work together to help with fever, headache and pain. 

The dosage and administration of the medicine are also stated. 

Contraindications, interactions, side effects, overdose effects and recommendations for pregnant and lactating mothers are also included. 

The good:

Detailed, comprehensive information on a wide range of medications in Bangladesh. 

When Kobi checked the price of Ace Plus on an online pharmacy, it was similar to the price of Ace Plus listed on the app. 

There is also a function to search for alternate brands of the medicine, useful if that brand is not available.

The bad:

Nothing bad. 

Kobi’s suggestion: A photo of the medicine in its packaging would be helpful for users to identify the right option in search results.
