We make it easy to find alternatives for an existing or discontinued product.
You will find the search banner for Alternative products at the end of the prescribing information.
There are three different features provided within the app to find alternative products:

For example, if I am searching for an Alternative for Amaryl:
- Tap the content name to find other products having SAME Content. Tap Glimepiride to find other products containing Glimepiride.
- Tap the drug category to find other products having SAME Drug Category. Tap Sulphonylurea to find other products containing Sulphonylurea.

Instantly learn if any two drugs can be used in conjunction by using the Drug Interaction Checker in the PharmaGuide App.
Step 1: Within the app, tap on “CHECKER” or swipe left to go to Drug Interaction Checker.
Step 2: Check Interaction by Brand or by Generic in your country.
Searching by Brand: Search for the brand name of the product (i.e. Panadol).
