Med-Search: Medicine Guide

Med-Search is a medical reference built around the moments you need it most. Emergency numbers, crisis support, triage, your health book and the allergy and interaction checks on your medicines all work with no signal at all: on the plane, in the mountains, abroad. Searching the medicine library uses your connection, or download the whole library with Plus and search it offline too. WHERE THE INFORMATION COMES FROM Every entry comes from a national health agency: the U.S. Food & Drug Administration, the National Library of Medicine, and a published medical vocabulary. Nothing is scraped from the open web, and nothing is written by AI. Each entry names its source and edition, and links to the official page that entry was taken from, so you can open the original and check it yourself: - Medicine labels: DailyMed, U.S. National Library of Medicine - https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov - Health topics: MedlinePlus, U.S. National Library of Medicine - https://medlineplus.gov - Medicine data: openFDA, U.S. Food & Drug Administration - https://open.fda.gov - Symptom vocabulary: Human Phenotype Ontology - https://hpo.jax.org NOT A GOVERNMENT APP Med-Search is an independent app. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration, the National Institutes of Health, the U.S. National Library of Medicine, or any government agency. It reproduces information those agencies publish. THE COMPLETE MEDICINE REFERENCE, FREE TO READ Every FDA medicine in the library is free to read and search, with no account to make. Searching uses your connection; Med-Search Plus downloads the whole library so you can search it with no signal. SEARCH MEDICINES, CONDITIONS AND SYMPTOMS Search official FDA medicine labels: what a medicine is used for, its dosage, warnings, interactions and side effects. Read plain-language health topics from the National Library of Medicine. Results appear as you type. Med-Search is a reference, not a symptom checker. It does not assess you and will never tell you that you are fine. SAVE WHAT YOU NEED Star any medicine, condition or symptom to keep it in your favourites. YOUR HEALTH BOOK Keep your medicines, allergies, conditions, emergency contacts and notes in one place, encrypted on your phone. Med-Search flags when a medicine you add mentions something you are allergic to, and can remind you to take a dose. YOUR DATA STAYS ON YOUR PHONE There is no account and no sign-in. Your health book is stored in an encrypted database on this device, with its key held by the Android Keystore. It is excluded from Android backup and from device transfer, so it is never copied to the cloud or to another phone. When you search the library, the words you type are sent to our server to be looked up. They are not stored, not logged and not linked to you. MED-SEARCH PLUS Plus is a one-time purchase, not a subscription. It removes advertising, downloads the whole medicine library onto your phone for offline use, and adds an export: your health book as a one-page document you can print, send or hand to a doctor. It is made on your phone and uploaded nowhere. Search, the complete medicine reference, emergency numbers, crisis support, medicine safety checks, favourites and reminders are free for everyone. ADVERTS The free app has one advert, and you choose whether to see it. Opening an entry may offer a short video that buys ten minutes with no adverts, and "Not now" always opens the entry straight away. There are no banners, and nothing opens full-screen on its own. It is never offered on the crisis or emergency screens. Nothing you search for is used to choose an advert. IMPORTANT Med-Search gives health information, not a diagnosis. It cannot examine you and it cannot tell you what is wrong. It is not a medical device. Med-Search is not affiliated with or endorsed by any government agency. If you think you have an emergency, call your local emergency number.
