How it works

Five steps, from your first med to sharing your list.

This is how WhatsInYourMeds will work once it opens.

  1. Step 1: Add your meds

    Search by name, or by the NDC on your pharmacy label or box. Or type the imprint printed on the pill. When you search by name, you can narrow the results to the company on the label.

    • Name
    • NDC
    • Pill imprint

    A pill match shows what a label describes. Ask your care team if you're not sure it's your pill.

  2. Step 2: See what's inside

    You see the ingredients the med's FDA label lists. That includes the "inactive" ingredients, called excipients.

    Your Ingredients view lists them across your meds, A to Z. Each one shows how many of your meds list it. A side-by-side table shows which med lists which ingredient.

    We tag some ingredients that people avoid. Our tags can miss some. No tag is not an all-clear.

  3. Step 3: Know when a label changes

    Labels get updated. When one of your labels is updated, your list shows a note. You see how the ingredient list changed. Then you choose when to use the updated label.

    That only changes which label your list shows. It doesn't change your medicine.

    New in the updated label

    No longer listed

  4. Step 4: See both ingredient lists

    An FDA label can list its ingredients twice. When we find that the two lists don't agree, we show you both, in plain words.

    If a label names an ingredient we don't know, we still show it, spelled the way the label spells it.

  5. Step 5: Share with your care team

    You choose who sees your list, and how.

    Your care team

    Send them a copy

    They get a copy of your list as it is today. They open it in ExciIQ, our app for health professionals, so they need an ExciIQ account.

    Once they open it, it's theirs. Changes you make later won't reach them.

    Someone you trust

    Let them view your list

    They sign in to WhatsInYourMeds and see your list as it changes. They can look, but they can't change anything.

    You can stop sharing at any time.
