Frequently Asked Questions
Can the AI identify loose or unmarked pills?
Works best with imprint codes or packaging text. Completely unmarked pills are difficult to identify — always consult a pharmacist.
What if the pill is damaged?
Photograph the largest intact fragment showing text or embossed codes. The AI can attempt identification from partial markings.
Does it work on foreign medicines?
Optimized for Indian CDSCO-database medicines. For foreign medicines, may identify active ingredient via INN names but may not have Indian generic equivalents.
Is my photo stored?
No. Processed in-memory and immediately discarded. Zero data retention.
What is a Jan Aushadhi generic alternative?
WHO-GMP certified medicines at government-run PMBJP stores, 50-90% cheaper than branded equivalents with identical therapeutic efficacy. Search our medicine database for generics
