Medvigil1

The MedvigiL1 application enables access to a cloud-based database that contains information on medicines registered in a particular country, including product images when available. The information for each country has been provided and authorized by the corresponding medicines regulatory authority (MRA), which also grants user privileges to inspectors or other designated personnel. Authorized users can access the database and retrieve medicine information from MedvigiL1 to compare it with the medicine being assessed. Once retrieved from the cloud, the database can also be accessed offline. Information in the database is searchable by product name, active pharmaceutical ingredient, manufacturer name, and registration number. When poor-quality medicines are suspected or identified, MedvigiL1 users can send Alert Notices, including photographs, to their MRA. Existing Alert Notices for a specific product may also be retrieved utilizing this application. If accessed on a device that is GPS enabled, the Alert Notice can include the exact location where the medicines were collected.
Support for development of this application was provided by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) through the Promoting the Quality of Medicines (PQM) program, a collaborative agreement between USAID and the United States Pharmacopeial Convention (USP).
