About
Feeling sick in Korea? Apayo (아파요) means "it hurts" — tell us where, we'll handle the Korean.
SCAN ANY MEDICINE
Point your camera at any box — Apayo identifies it against all 4,770 Korean OTC medicines and explains it in your language, using official Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS) data.
SHOW THE PHARMACIST
Tap where it hurts, and Apayo shows the pharmacist exactly what you need — in big Korean text. No Korean required.
WARNINGS WRITTEN FOR YOU
Pregnant? NSAID allergy? Set your health profile once (stays on your phone) and every medicine page flags what applies to you.
SICK AT 3AM?
Learn which medicines every 24h convenience store legally sells — and exactly how to ask.
TAX REFUND & PHARMACY FINDER
English-friendly and tax-refund pharmacies, dose reminders, and survival guides for travelers.
Not medical advice. Always consult the pharmacist — Apayo just makes sure nothing gets lost in translation.
