MedScan
Understand your medication labels in plain language
MedScan helps you understand what your medication is for without wading through technical jargon. Take a video of the label—prescription or over-the-counter, in almost any language—and MedScan explains what the medication does in non-technical terms. It can read the explanation aloud in English, French, Chinese (Mandarin and Cantonese), Spanish, Portuguese, German, Vietnamese, Arabic, Persian, Japanese, Korean, Hindi, Bengali, Gujarati, Punjabi, Kannada, and Urdu.

Always follow your doctor's guidance. This tool is intended to help you identify medication more easily—it is not a substitute for professional medical advice.
