Medicine uses — FAQ
Can ImproveIt tell me what a tablet is used for?
Yes. Scan the pack and the app explains the medicine's main uses, dosage form and what it should not be used for — in English or Hindi.
Will it give me the dose to take?
It shows the dose printed on the pack and the standard adult dose, but your specific dose depends on your prescription. Follow your doctor's instructions.
Does it cover Ayurvedic or homeopathic medicines?
Coverage is best for allopathic medicines sold in India. Ayurvedic and homeopathic packs work if the label is clear, but information depth is limited.
