About Pill2Trip

International medication database for travelers and expats

Our Mission

Pill2Trip is an international medication reference for travelers and expats. We connect medicine names with their listed active ingredients and countries so you can explore names used abroad and discuss the exact product with a local pharmacist.

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 listings — the countries where the medication appears in our source data
  • Source descriptions — may mention dosage forms or strengths, but these details are not consistently verified
  • 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 Entries reflect the data as collected and may be incomplete or out of date. A country listing does not confirm current registration, pharmacy stock or prescription requirements. Verify the exact product and current local status with a local pharmacist. Read our data sources and coverage and matching methodology.

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
  • Connected by recorded ingredients — a shared ingredient is a data connection, not evidence of clinical equivalence; combination products may contain additional ingredients
  • Transparent about limits — coverage is uneven, newer medicines (e.g. biologics) are under-represented, and "same active ingredient" does not mean "identical medicine"

  • Always consult a qualified healthcare professional before starting, stopping, or changing any medication.
  • Related medicine records may share only part of their composition. Even a full match of listed active ingredients does not establish interchangeability: strengths, dosage forms, release characteristics and other details may differ.
  • Drug availability, regulations, and prescription requirements vary by country and may change without notice.
  • Never self-diagnose or self-medicate based solely on information found on this website.
