Pilldat, the International Medicine Name-Finder
Pilldat maps medicine brands and active ingredients to local equivalents, legal status, and pharmacy phrases across 113 countries.
Field notes
The homepage presents a cross-country lookup system rather than a simple medicine encyclopedia: visitors can search a brand or active ingredient and receive a local name, legal-status distinction, and a pharmacy phrase. Its stated dataset covers 79,463 medication products across 113 countries, with 4,642,690 combinations cross-referenced. Navigation exposes a large set of country-specific pages, including Lipitor in France, Japan, Brazil, and dozens of other markets.
