Choose your perspective

The same medication library, read three ways. Pick the section that matches how you use the site.

For patients

Find your medication, understand what to expect, decide what to do next.

Each medication guide is written assuming you are reading this on your phone, possibly between appointments, possibly anxious. The structure is the same on every page so you always know where the answer lives.

  • A 30-second snapshot at the top of every page, so you do not have to read the whole guide if you do not want to.
  • Plain-language explanations of how each medication works, taken from the same sources your prescriber uses.
  • An interactive side-effects explorer, organised by body system, so you can find what you are worried about quickly.

For GPs

A fast shared-care reference, written by a specialist prescriber.

Each medication page includes a Prescriber Insight section: monitoring schedule, titration logic, contraindications, drug interactions, and the kind of judgement calls that do not appear in the SmPC. Pulled from BNF, SmPC, SPS, BfN, and BUMPS, with sources cited inline.

Monitoring

Baseline + ongoing observations, BP/pulse cadence, and when to refer back.

Titration

Typical dose increments, expected response timeframes, and red flags.

Interactions

Common combinations, alcohol guidance, contraceptive considerations, hepatic and renal context.

Special situations

Pregnancy, breastfeeding, tics, cardiovascular history, comorbid presentations.

For clinicians

Evidence-informed prescribing notes from a UK ADHD specialist.

Written by someone who prescribes these medications daily and also lives with ADHD. The intent is to capture the judgement calls that sit between the formulary and the patient: what works, what does not, and what to do when sources disagree.

Source hierarchy is documented in the project README: SmPC and BNF for dosing, SPS for pharmacokinetics and interactions, BfN for breastfeeding, BUMPS for pregnancy. Where local protocols and SmPC diverge, SmPC takes precedence and the divergence is flagged in the clinician-facing notes.
