Sources & methodology
Where mojApteczka's medicine information comes from, and where that information ends.
mojApteczka is a tool for organizing your home medicine cabinet, not a source of medical advice. This page explains what data we rely on, how we keep it current, and what the app deliberately does not do.
Where the medicine data comes from
- Register of Medicinal Products (RPL) — over 78,000 products registered in Poland. This is the basis for recognizing a medicine's name, dose and code after you scan the package.
- Summary of Product Characteristics (SmPC) and patient leaflets (PIL) — sections come from the official registration documents. Over 8,000 medicines have this data available offline.
- DDInter 2.0 — a public dataset of interactions between substances (over 300,000 records). Results are source-attributed and informational only.
Every piece of information in the app comes from these sources or from what you enter yourself. We do not write our own medical descriptions.
What mojApteczka does not do
- It does not diagnose and does not judge whether a given medicine is right for you.
- It does not choose or calculate doses. The dosing section, where you see one, is the official SmPC text reproduced verbatim.
- It does not replace talking to a doctor or pharmacist.
For anything about taking a medicine, always follow the leaflet, the prescription, and the advice of your doctor or pharmacist.
How we keep it current
We refresh the RPL data regularly, and we tie interaction information and SmPC documents to their original source. When an official document changes, what the app shows changes with it.
Who is behind it
mojApteczka is built by one person — Tomasz Szuster, founder and developer. More in the About us section.
