Quickly identify medicine barcodes via image upload or manual entry to get detailed information on drug ingredients, manufacturers, and dosage.
When you have a medication on hand but can't find the package insert, the Medicine Barcode Lookup tool can quickly help you identify the drug. By parsing the barcode on the medication packaging (such as 1D or 2D barcodes) and matching it with authoritative drug databases, it outputs key information including the approval number, manufacturer, ingredients, dosage, and contraindications to help ensure medication safety.
How accurate is the medicine barcode lookup?
Recognition accuracy depends on image clarity and barcode integrity. Mainstream 1D barcodes (like EAN-13) have a high recognition rate, but severely worn or reflective barcodes may require manual entry.
Can I verify the authenticity of a drug through its barcode?
A barcode only identifies the drug and cannot directly verify its authenticity. Please check the approval number and double-check through official channels.
Please ensure the image has even lighting and the barcode is unobstructed. Results are for reference only; always follow the package insert or your doctor's advice for medication use. We do not store user-uploaded images, ensuring your privacy and security.
Most medicine barcodes follow the EAN-13 standard (13 digits), where the first 3 digits are the country code (690-695 for China). If you encounter recognition difficulties, try adjusting the image scaling ratio: a ratio scale of 0.8-1.2 often improves blurriness. Typical input/output example: Input barcode 6901234567890, output includes trade name 'XX Cold Medicine', ingredients 'Paracetamol 150mg', manufacturer 'XX Pharmaceuticals', and approval number 'NMPA Approval HXXXXXXX'.
