DrugBank - Safe Medication Look-up
(Note: This application is specifically designed for users in Vietnam)
DrugBank was developed to address a common concern: how can people verify medication information reliably? For non-experts, finding accurate details about drugs can be challenging. This app provides a direct link to official pharmaceutical data.
What is DrugBank?
DrugBank is a free mobile utility that allows users to search for comprehensive medication data directly on their phones. It serves as a portal for information about the pharmaceutical industry in Vietnam, including:
- Comprehensive Database: Detailed information on thousands of registered and licensed medications.
- Origin & Composition: Clear data on manufacturers, active ingredients, and declared prices.
- GPP Pharmacy Network: A searchable list of Good Pharmacy Practice (GPP) standard pharmacies nationwide.
Why I Built It
The idea for DrugBank came from wanting to protect my own family from counterfeit or poor-quality medicines. I realized that people without medical training often find it difficult to verify whether a product is genuine or properly licensed.
While the official Pharmaceutical Industry Database exists, its interface wasn't always optimized for mobile users. I created DrugBank to make this valuable data more accessible through a simple, user-friendly mobile application.
