Authenticity checker — FAQ
How does an authenticity checker differ from a fake checker?
They overlap. The authenticity checker focuses on confirming that a pack matches the genuine product — brand layout, manufacturer details and batch format. The fake checker focuses on spotting counterfeit signals.
Do I need internet to verify medicine?
Yes — verification needs a quick call to our AI service. Verified results are cached so re-scanning the same pack is faster the next time.
Does ImproveIt work with imported medicines?
Yes for any clearly labelled pack, though the database is best for medicines sold in India. Always cross-check imported medicines with your pharmacist.
