About MedicationHow2
MedicationHow2 is a free educational site with two sections, each built and maintained to a different standard of verification. We think that difference matters enough to explain clearly rather than blend together.
Medication Guide
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, for anyone who wants a 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.
Important: this database was built with AI assistance and has not been individually verified against an official pharmaceutical reference. It does not check for drug interactions and does not account for your individual health situation. Please read our full Medical Disclaimer before relying on anything shown here.
Vitamin Guide
An independently verified reference for vitamins, minerals, and essential nutrients, covering 140+ entries from A to Z — what each nutrient does in the body and natural food sources for it. Every entry must be a chemically real, independently verifiable vitamin, vitamer, or nutrient recognized by mainstream nutritional science; we deliberately exclude documented pseudo-vitamins such as those historically marketed as "vitamin B15" and "vitamin B17."
We don't sell supplements, and no manufacturer can pay for inclusion or favorable treatment. This section is a reference, not a source of personalized medical guidance — see our Medical Disclaimer.
Independence
MedicationHow2 is not owned by, sponsored by, or affiliated with any pharmaceutical manufacturer, pharmacy chain, supplement brand, or healthcare provider. We do not accept payment in exchange for favorable treatment of any medication, vitamin, or brand.
