How does CheckUrMed work?

The customer downloads the FREE CheckUrMed app to their smart phone from Google Play.

To check that the medicines they received are genuine, they open the app and follow the simple instructions. Using the phone camera, the app will scan the medicine packaging and some security features on the packaging.

This information is then checked against our secure database of safe medicines and genuine packaging. The customer is then given either a Genuine, Warning or Unknown verdict.
