AllergenMeds helps you check the inactive ingredients (excipients) in medications
against your own allergen, dietary, and religious-exclusion profile - including
kosher and halal concerns and animal-derived ingredients like gelatin.
How it works
1. Build your profile — pick the allergens, diets, and exclusions you care about
(for example lactose/dairy, gelatin, gluten, vegan, kosher, or halal).
2. Scan a medication's barcode, or type its NDC. AllergenMeds reads the barcode on
your device — no photo is taken or uploaded.
3. Get a result checked against YOUR profile: the app shows the product's full
label ingredient list and flags only the entries that match what you selected,
with a clear "Contains," "May Contain," or "Does Not Contain" indicator for
each of your selections.
Why scan every refill
The same medicine from a different manufacturer — or even a new fill from the same
one — can use different inactive ingredients. AllergenMeds lets you save your
medications and rescan each new fill, and flags when a fill looks different from
the one you saved.
Built around your privacy
Your saved medication list, your scan history, and your refill reminders stay on
your phone. There are no ads, no trackers, and no analytics SDKs. The only things
that reach our servers are your account email, your allergen selections, and the
barcode/NDC of a medication you check.
Good to know
- AllergenMeds works by barcode or NDC only — there is no search by drug name,
because the same name maps to many products with different ingredients.
- The free plan includes 3 checks per calendar month.
Important
AllergenMeds is an informational tool to help you read medication ingredient
labels. It is not medical advice and is not a substitute for your pharmacist or
doctor. Always confirm with a healthcare professional and read the product's own
labeling before making any decision about a medication.
