What is MediDex?
MediDex is a website designed to make finding accurate and understandable information about your medications easier. Here at MediDex, we focus on accessibility and ease of use, so you can skip the nonsense and get straight to what's important to you.
In addition to this, we also place a heavy focus on access to more detailed reading. MediDex is a summary of most medications, and while that is sufficient in some scenarios, it's always best to get more information about your medications. For that, we link all of our references and sources on each medication's page, along with other resources that we think are relevant.
How Do I Find My Medications?
At the top of the website is a search bar. Just type in the name of your medication and press the button right next to the search bar. You'll be taken to a new page with all the related pages to that medication. From there, find the one you're looking for and click on it. That's it!
Don'y worry if you don't know the generic name of your drug, MediDex has searches by brand names as well, and we'll let you know which medication is yours if you're searching by brand name. If for whatever reason you can't find your medication, click the button on the results page that say "I couldn't find my medication" and we'll add it to the priority list of medications to add.
If you're interested in learning more about a specific type of medication or other attributes, you can search by drug classes (e.g. "anti-emetic").
When are new medications added?
MediDex updates the website with new medication entries every Sunday at 10:00 PM EST. If you are using the site on a desktop computer or laptop, you can see the current number of entries in the top right corner.
