Verify a medicine

Check a medicine from its pack

Scan the barcode on the pack, or type its numbers, to see whether that batch has been recalled. If the pack has a serial number, we also check that single unit.

Point your camera at the square 2D code on the pack. A normal barcode or a QR code works too.

The camera is only used while this page is open. Nothing is recorded.

Click the box and scan. Most scanners press Enter for you. You can also paste the text printed under a 2D code.

The 8 to 14 digit number under the barcode, or after "(01)" or "GTIN" next to a 2D code.

Printed after "LOT", "Batch", "B.No." or "(10)". Type it exactly, including dashes.

After "SN" or "(21)". Only packs with a 2D code have one.
