The same medication, anywhere.
Scan a medication box or search a name — Kayu tells you what that medication is called where you're going, and whether it's sold there at all.

In Canada it's called acetaminophen — the same molecule under a different name.
Different strength: 1000 mg vs 500 mg — ask a pharmacist.
Match computed by Kayu from the official records.
Why you can trust it
Every record comes from an official source. Nothing else.
Kayu only reads the public registries of health authorities. No forums, no user submissions, no AI guesses — if a registry doesn't publish it, Kayu doesn't show it.

The Base de données publique des médicaments — every medication authorized in France.

How it works
Thirty seconds, in a pharmacy aisle.
- 01
Scan or search
Point the camera at the box in your hand — or type the name from your prescription.
- 02
See the match
Kayu shows the equivalent where you're going — and says so clearly when the match is partial or not sold there.
- 03
Read the essentials
Active ingredient, purpose and key safety notes, in plain language, straight from the official record.
When you'll be glad you have it
You won't use Kayu every day. One day, you'll really need it.
“Will I find my medication over there?”
Check your whole travel kit before you pack. Know what exists at your destination, what it's called, and what has no equivalent — while there's still time to see your doctor.
“It's this one — I'm sure.”
Standing at the counter, out of your usual painkiller, brand names you've never seen. Scan, see the match, show your phone to the pharmacist. Done.
Rebuild your medicine cabinet.
New country, new brand names for everything you already know. Kayu translates your old cabinet into the local one — starting with France, Canada and Spain.
Your health stays yours.
No account, no health profile, no ads. Scans are processed on your device and your searches aren't tied to you.
Where Kayu works
Coverage, country by country.
A country only joins Kayu once its official medication registry is fully integrated and verified — never before. Each card shows what the registry publishes, nothing more.
