## What is World Drugs?

Convert Drugs helps you find equivalent medications—the same active ingredient under local brand names—in 200+ countries, using a large offline database of about 2 million products. No internet required once the app is installed.

You are on a business trip to China and need one of your usual medicines. How do you ask for it locally? With Convert Drugs, search in seconds, set your From and To countries, and see equivalent product names. Use ZOOM to show the local name full screen to a pharmacist or doctor—even without a data connection.

WHAT IS CONVERT DRUGS?

Convert Drugs is built for travelers, expats, and health professionals who need reliable drug-name equivalents abroad. Search by product name, active ingredient (molecule), or ATC code, then browse equivalents for your destination country.

WHAT’S NEW IN VERSION 2.0

• Search on the home screen — results update as you type
• English, French, Spanish, and German — plus localized country names in the picker
• Smarter search — accent-friendly matching, typo tolerance, favorites, and recent searches
• From → To route — swap countries in one tap and restore recent routes
• Settings — light/dark theme, language, tutorial, and subscription management
• Share searches — send a link that reopens the same query in the app
• iPad — side-by-side search and results
• Accessibility — improved VoiceOver support

ACCURATE, PROFESSIONALLY COMPILED DATA

The database was compiled by a professional pharmacist. Updates ship with the app so you keep a current catalog on your device. Each release is reviewed before publication.

EXTENSIVE COVERAGE

• About 2 million drug product names
• About 10,000 molecules (active ingredients)
• More than 200 countries and territories

WORKS OFFLINE

The database is stored on your iPhone or iPad. Convert Drugs delivers fast results without Wi‑Fi or cellular data—ideal when you are abroad, in transit, or in areas with poor connectivity.

DESIGNED FOR TRAVEL

Don’t leave without it. You cannot pack every medicine you might need. If something runs out or you need an equivalent abroad, Convert Drugs helps you identify local products to discuss with a pharmacist or physician—not to replace their advice.

FREE, PRO, AND PREMIUM

• Free — product name search
• Pro — equivalents for regular (Level 1) drugs
• Premium — advanced-drug equivalents, molecule search, and ATC search

Optional subscriptions are available in the app. Payment is charged to your Apple ID account. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel in Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions after purchase.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work anymore

*2026-08-08*

Even after the update of august 7th 2026.

### 1/5 — But when starts

*2026-07-16*

Doesn’t work no more

### 4/5 — Payant pour molecules

*2025-10-29*

Genial dommage qu’il fasse payer pour connaitre les molecules

### 1/5 — Je paie tous le temps

*2022-02-17*

Vous me faites payer à chaque fois que je télécharge la version prenium et sans m obtenir

**Developer response:** Il est impossible de payer plusieurs fois pour la meme mise a jour (pro ou premium).
Si vous avec deja payé, l'App Store va vous proposer de l'acheter gratuitement. Sinon cela signifie que le paiement n'a pas fonctionné.

### 1/5 — Attention avec cette application

*2019-09-13*

Inutile pour les besoins d’un voyageur commun, c’est une harnache. Vous payez Premium, ensuite, pour avoir plus d’informations, vous payez la version Pro.
Je veux être remboursé.

**Developer response:** Si vous achetez l'option premium vous etes deja au niveau maximum de fonctionalités et il n'est pas possible d'acheter pro ensuite (et inutile car pro est inclu dans premium). Peut-etre que votre achat premium n'avait pas fonctionné?

### 3/5 — Very helpful

*2019-03-31*

I am pharmacist and frequently use this app to identify the non-famous product names. I had the previous version, the new version is ok but missing the search for the product in all countries as the previous version.
If this added it will be great!
