## What is DrugScan?

Look up any medication in seconds — from its barcode, or straight from the name printed on a pharmacy bottle.

Most pharmacy labels don't carry a scannable NDC barcode. DrugScan solves that: point your camera at the label and it reads the medication name on-device, then pulls up the official FDA label.

WHAT YOU CAN DO
• Scan Barcode — read the manufacturer's NDC barcode on a box or bottle
• Scan Label — photograph the name on a pharmacy label when there's no barcode
• Enter NDC manually — type the code yourself
• Look up dietary supplements by name

WHAT YOU GET
• A plain-language summary of what a medication is for, its key warnings, and how it's used
• Full FDA label detail: active and inactive ingredients, purpose, indications, dosage, drug interactions, contraindications, and precautions
• Manufacturer package photos where available
• Supplement ingredients, amounts, and %DV
• A saved list of your medications to revisit anytime

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• No account and no sign-up — the app never learns who you are
• Barcode scanning and label reading happen entirely on your iPhone
• Label photos are never uploaded or saved
• Saved medications stay on your device
• No ads, no trackers, no analytics

WHERE THE DATA COMES FROM
Information comes from the FDA's openFDA and DailyMed databases and the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database — the same public records pharmacists reference.

SUBSCRIPTION
Every install includes 3 free lookups. After that, a subscription unlocks unlimited lookups and plain-language summaries. Monthly or yearly, auto-renewing until canceled; manage or cancel anytime in Settings.

IMPORTANT
DrugScan is for informational purposes only and is not medical advice. Label matching — especially reading a name from a photo — is a best guess, so always confirm the result matches the product in your hand. Always read the product label and consult a pharmacist or clinician.
