Scanned in Paris · Traveling to Montréal
In Canada it's called acetaminophen — the same molecule under a different name.
Different strength: 1000 mg vs 500 mg — ask a pharmacist.
Why you can trust it
Every answer comes from an official source. Nothing else.
Kayu only reads the government registries pharmacists rely on. No forums, no user submissions, no AI guesses — if the agencies don't say it, Kayu doesn't either.

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: a green badge for a direct match, a clear warning when it's partial or not sold there.
- 03
Read the essentials
Active ingredient, purpose and key safety notes, in plain language, straight from the official monograph.
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 the France ⇄ Canada corridor.
Your health stays yours.
No account, no health profile, no ads. Scans are processed on your device and searches aren't tied to you. Our website uses privacy-first, cookieless analytics — no cross-site tracking. GDPR-compliant by design.
