Drugibly checks your medications, food and supplements for interactions, then explains the reason in plain words — with real sources you can open. It works offline, and it speaks your language.
Taking these together raises your risk of bleeding.
Don’t combine them without talking to your pharmacist or doctor first.

Grapefruit slows the enzyme that clears this statin, so more of it stays in your blood.
The gap we close
That missing sentence is the whole problem. Without it you can’t judge whether it matters for you, you can’t ask your pharmacist a useful question, and you end up on a forum at midnight.
A warning with no mechanism behind it is just anxiety. Drugibly gives you the pathway, the evidence grade, and the source — the same information a clinician reads.
Grapefruit, alcohol, aged cheese, leafy greens, soy sauce, dairy. Real meals, real questions — and the nuance of whether a trace amount actually matters.
St John’s wort, CBD, magnesium, turmeric, melatonin, fish oil. Most apps refuse to answer. These are genuinely enzyme-relevant, so we answer them properly.
How an answer is built
Every check runs the same three steps in the same order. That order is the reason the answers hold up — and the reason most of them cost nothing and need no signal.
Doliprane, Panadol, Adol and paracetamol are the same molecule. A brand-name table ships inside the app, so this resolves with no connection — which is what makes the next step possible anywhere.
Works offlineRoughly 20,000 documented pairs, rebuilt from FDA label text, the ONC high-priority interaction list and DrugCentral — every row carrying its own provenance. A hit comes back in under 300 milliseconds, on a plane, in a basement, with no account.
Under 300 ms · no connectionFor the rest, Google’s Gemini answers with live search grounding and returns real NIH, FDA and PubMed links. It can add nuance and it can raise a severity — it is never allowed to lower one the database already recorded. When the two disagree, you see the more cautious answer, and you see that they disagreed.
Grounded · cited · never downgradesEach level carries its own shape and its own word, not just a colour — so the result reads the same for colourblind users and at a glance.
No major known interaction found.
Worth knowing, rarely acted on.
Usually manageable with care or timing.
Serious. Ask before combining.
Should not be combined at all.
What’s inside
Two names, or your whole list at once. Add a dose and the answer sharpens; leave it out and it still answers, telling you it assumed a typical adult dose.
Grapefruit and CYP3A4, vitamin K and warfarin, tyramine and MAOIs, alcohol, dairy, high-fat meals. Photograph a meal, confirm the ingredients, check the lot.
Checked against everything you take, with the enzyme mechanism spelled out — the category most apps quietly skip.
Barcode first, then the imprint, colour and shape, then the camera. Nothing is shown below 0.80 confidence — an honest “I couldn’t read that” beats a confident wrong name.
A conversation about your medications that runs the same grounded pipeline as a check — so answers carry citations, and any specific pair it names becomes a real, structured result in one tap.
Your medications, allergies, blood type and emergency contact on a card you can hand to a paramedic — on your home screen, and as a PDF.
Separate lists for a parent, a partner, a child. Caregivers are checking for someone else more often than for themselves.
Not another pill reminder. One optional alert when a combination genuinely needs separating — “levothyroxine four hours before calcium.”
If something on your list is recalled, you hear it from the app rather than from the news.
CYP enzyme panel, pharmacokinetic parameters, evidence grading, dosing-adjustment tables, batch checking. One switch returns the plain view for everyone else.
Arabic, Urdu and Persian laid out properly — not mirrored as an afterthought — with regional brand names in autocomplete and spoken answers in Arabic.
Survives 200% text size, every control is reachable one-handed, screen readers are supported throughout, and a “simple language” switch strips the jargon.
Privacy and evidence
Medications, history, profiles and your emergency card are stored on the phone in an encrypted database, and are left out of Android’s automatic backup. Cloud sync exists, and it stays off until you switch it on and confirm your email. Health information never appears in logs or crash reports.
Every result carries its citations and its confidence, on every plan including the free one. The pregnancy toggle is free for the same reason: charging for the part that makes an answer checkable would be charging for trust.
A 200-pair benchmark, ground-truthed against FDA labels and a clinical reference, runs on every change. A release needs at least 95% sensitivity on major interactions and under 2% false negatives, or it doesn’t ship. Every “this looks wrong” report is reviewed weekly.
The bundled database is rebuilt from public-domain FDA label text, the ONC high-priority list and DrugCentral, with the source recorded on every row. Non-commercial datasets are used only as an internal cross-check — never shipped.

Questions
Yes. A curated interaction database ships inside the app, along with a brand-name table, so common checks answer in under 300 milliseconds with no connection at all. Brand names resolve offline too — typing Doliprane finds paracetamol.
Only the AI explanation layer needs a connection, and the app tells you plainly when it is showing you offline data rather than pretending nothing happened.
Your list, history, profiles and emergency card live on your phone, in an encrypted database, and are excluded from Android’s automatic backup. Cloud sync exists but stays off until you turn it on and confirm a verified email address.
Health information never appears in logs, crash reports or analytics. If you ever want it all back, one button exports every last row as a readable file, and another deletes everything on the device.
Every answer starts from a curated database built from FDA label text, not from a model’s memory. When the AI layer is used it is grounded in live search and returns real citations you can open — and it is structurally forbidden from lowering a severity the database already recorded.
Published studies put general chatbot accuracy on medication questions anywhere from 26% to 100%, with poor agreement against pharmacists. Every Drugibly release is measured against a 200-pair benchmark ground-truthed to FDA labels before it ships.
Yes, and both are first-class rather than an afterthought. Food covers grapefruit with statins, vitamin K with warfarin, tyramine with MAOIs, alcohol, dairy and high-fat meals — including whether a trace amount actually matters.
Supplements and herbs cover St John’s wort, CBD, magnesium, turmeric, melatonin and fish oil among others. You can also photograph a meal, confirm the ingredient list the app extracted, and check it against everything you take.
Every install starts with 7 days of full access and no card. After that the free plan gives 3 checks a day forever, and source citations and pregnancy information stay free on every plan.
Premium is $4.99 a month or $39.99 a year. Clinical, for pharmacists and prescribers, is $9.99 a month or $89.99 a year. Cancel any time from Google Play.
It tries the most reliable method first: the barcode or DataMatrix on the box, then the imprint, colour and shape matched against DailyMed label data, then AI reading of the imprint, and only then full visual recognition.
A name is shown only above 0.80 confidence. Below that the app says it could not identify the pill and suggests scanning the box instead — which is the honest answer, and the one that doesn’t get someone hurt.
No. Drugibly presents published drug information for reference. It is not a medical device, and it is not a substitute for professional medical advice. Always check results with your pharmacist or doctor before changing how you take any medication.
Twenty, including Arabic, Urdu and Persian with full right-to-left layout — built in from the first day rather than mirrored later. Regional brand names appear in autocomplete, so local products resolve correctly.
Voice input and spoken answers work in Arabic as well as English, which matters for the users least likely to want to type a long drug name.
Seven days of everything, no card, no account. Then a free plan that still answers.
