AboutClearDose.
Free, plain-language guides to medicines, travel vaccines and immunizations for people in Canada.
What this site does
ClearDose helps you understand your medicines before you talk to a pharmacist or doctor. The Medication Guide explains 283 medicines and checks them against each other. The Travel Clinic shows the vaccines commonly recommended for 57 destinations, and Immunizations A to Z lists the vaccines recommended for adults.
How the answers are made
The medication review works from a structured library of medication summaries built into the site, drafted from public sources such as the Health Canada Drug Product Database and HealthLinkBC. The summaries have not been reviewed by a pharmacist, so always confirm with one before acting on them. It runs in your browser: it does not search the internet, and what you type is not sent to us.
What it is not
This is general information, not medical advice. It does not know your health history and cannot replace a pharmacist, nurse or doctor. In an emergency call 911.
How it is paid for
The site is free and supported by ads from Google AdSense. You can remove the ads with the ad-free plan. Advertisers never choose or change what the guides say.
