About Pill2Trip

International medication database for travelers and expats

Our Mission

Pill2Trip is an international medication database designed to help travelers, expats, and healthcare professionals find local equivalents of medications across different countries. When you travel abroad and need to find the same medication under a different brand name, Pill2Trip bridges that gap.

Our goal is to make medication information accessible and understandable, regardless of where you are in the world. We believe that everyone should have access to the information they need to manage their health safely while abroad.


Where our data comes from

Pill2Trip began as a normalized snapshot of the public medicine listings on pillintrip.com, a public international drug reference. We aggregate and re-structure that data — mapping brand names to active ingredients and to the countries where each appears. Each entry can include:

  • Active ingredients — the pharmaceutical compounds that make the drug effective
  • Country availability — the countries where the medication appears in our source data
  • Dosage forms — how the medication is administered (tablets, capsules, injections, etc.)
  • Therapeutic uses — the conditions and diseases the medication is used to treat
  • Pharmacological actions — how the medication works in the body

This is an aggregated dataset, not a live regulatory feed. Entries reflect the data as collected and may be incomplete or out of date — drug availability and regulations change frequently, so always verify current availability with a local pharmacist. We are gradually cross-checking the data against open regulatory sources (such as the U.S. FDA's openFDA), and label entries as verified only where that check has actually been performed.


Editorial Policy

We aim for accuracy, but we are not a medical authority and we do not claim manual clinical review of every entry. Our content is:

  • Structured from a public source — derived from publicly available medicine listings, then normalized
  • Cross-referenced by ingredient — equivalents are matched on shared active ingredients, not brand marketing
  • Transparent about limits — coverage is uneven, newer medicines (e.g. biologics) are under-represented, and "same active ingredient" does not mean "identical medicine"
