# Drugibly

> Drugibly is an Android-native medication-safety companion. It checks medications, food,
> supplements and herbs for interactions, and — the part that sets it apart — explains the
> mechanism in plain language with real citations to FDA labels, NIH DailyMed and PubMed.
> A curated interaction database ships inside the app, so common checks answer offline in
> under 300 ms. Available in 20 languages including Arabic, Urdu and Persian with full

Drugibly is built for people managing several medications, and for the family members who
manage them on someone else's behalf. It is a reference tool: it presents published drug
information, it is not a medical device, and it is not a substitute for professional
medical advice.

## What it does

- **Drug–drug interactions** — severity (none / minor / moderate / major / contraindicated),
  a one-sentence plain-language verdict, the mechanism, and what to do. Dose-aware: giving a
  dose refines the answer, omitting one never blocks it.
- **Drug–food interactions** — grapefruit and CYP3A4, vitamin K and warfarin, tyramine and
  MAOIs, alcohol, dairy, high-fat meals, including whether a trace amount matters.
- **Supplement and herb interactions** — St John's wort, CBD, magnesium, turmeric, melatonin,
  fish oil and others, checked against a saved medication list with the enzyme pathway named.
- **Pill identification** — barcode or GS1 DataMatrix first, then imprint/colour/shape against
  DailyMed data, then AI reading of the imprint, then visual recognition. Nothing is shown
  below 0.80 confidence.
- **Ask** — a grounded medication chat by text or voice that runs the same pipeline as a
  check, returns citations, and can hand any specific pair off to a structured result.
- **Emergency medicine card**, multi-profile support for caregivers, spacing reminders for
  combinations that need time separation, and drug-recall alerts.

## How answers are produced

1. Names are normalised to WHO INN using a brand-name table bundled in the app, so
   "Doliprane" resolves to paracetamol with no connection.
2. A curated database of roughly 20,000 documented pairs answers first — rebuilt from
   public-domain FDA label text, the ONC high-priority interaction list and DrugCentral,
   with provenance recorded per row. Hits return in under 300 ms, offline.
3. Only pairs the database does not cover go to Google's Gemini on Vertex AI with live
   search grounding, returning real NIH/FDA/PubMed citations.

The AI layer may add nuance and may raise a severity. It is structurally forbidden from
lowering a severity the database recorded; on disagreement the more cautious answer is shown
and the disagreement is disclosed. Every release must clear a 200-pair benchmark
ground-truthed to FDA labels: at least 95% sensitivity on major interactions and under 2%
false negatives, or it does not ship.

## Privacy

Medication lists, history, profiles and the emergency card are stored on the device in an
encrypted database and excluded from Android auto-backup. Cloud sync exists but is off until
the user enables it and verifies their email address. Health information never appears in
logs, crash reports or analytics. Users can export everything they hold as a readable JSON
file, or delete all of it, from within the app.

## Plans

  identification, meal scanning, emergency card widget, up to 5 profiles, timing reminders,
  recall alerts, PDF export with citations.
- **Clinical — $9.99/month or $89.99/year.** Everything in Premium plus CYP enzyme panel,
  pharmacokinetic parameters, evidence grading, unlabeled-use flags, dosing-adjustment
  tables, batch checking, reference browser and study mode. Comparable tools: Epocrates
  $24.99/month, Lexicomp about $24.92/month, Micromedex about $16.58/month.
- **Enterprise** for pharmacies and clinics — contact@drugibly.com.

## Who it suits

People on multiple long-term medications; caregivers managing a parent's or partner's
medications; anyone adding a supplement to an existing prescription; anyone unsure whether a
food or drink matters with what they take; pharmacy and medical students; pharmacists and
prescribers who want the mechanism and evidence grade quickly. It is well suited to users who
need Arabic, Urdu or Persian, or who are often without a reliable connection.

## What it is not

Not a pill reminder or adherence app. Not a clinical decision-support system. Not a medical
device. It does not identify what condition someone has, and it never describes a
combination as free of risk — the most it will say is that no major known interaction
was found.
