About MedicationHow2

MedicationHow2 is a free educational reference covering 1,500+ medications — name, general drug class, and typical use case for each. It's built as a quick orientation point, not a clinical tool.

Who it's for

MedicationHow2 is for anyone who wants a quick, plain-language starting point on a medication name they've heard — before a doctor's appointment, after seeing a prescription bottle, or out of general curiosity about what a drug class means.
