What can you search?
Active ingredients
Canonical medicine entities such as metformin, ibuprofen or sumatriptan.
Combination medicines
Fixed combinations such as vildagliptin + metformin are resolved to a combination entity and its component ingredients.
Marketed products
Product and brand names can be linked back to their active ingredient and jurisdiction-specific regulatory records.
Why medicine names differ between countries
The same active ingredient may be marketed under different product names, strengths and dosage forms in different countries. A shared ingredient does not automatically make two products interchangeable: formulation, route, strength and regulatory status also matter.
