on Note: I am not a pharma student to answer your complex pharmaceutical questions. Please do not ask me to provide some brands data names in excel sheet or the copy of electronic drug reference. Please go to the above site and purchase it. Whatever I can provide, I have provided here. Need more? Then, log into MedCLIK and explore. Thanks in advance!
When I was in medical transcription training, we were provided with Quick Look Drug Reference for medicine search and its dosage details. I was surprised to see its features. It was extensive with all the drug names, brand and generic names, therapeutic category, usage, dose, and dosage forms. We learned that a generic drug can be sold with different brand names produced by different companies. For example: aspirin is a generic drug (original formula), which is available under brand names of Ascriptin, Bayer Aspirin, Easprin, Ecotrin, Halfprin, ZORprin, etc (in USA).
After looking at this electronic drug reference for American drugs, I thought that there will be an Indian electronic drug reference. I searched a lot over the net for nearly one month, but was unable to find it. After passing through class training and on-job training, I was put on regular roles and started searching again. While searching the Indian Medical Association website, I came to know about the site MedCLIK, which provides an online drug reference for Indian medicines.
Go to http://www.medclik.com/ and look for MedCLIK drug reference. Click on the “ONLINE” link. It will ask for user id and password. Below that you can find a link to register as a new user.
In MedCLIK, besides the above information, they also indicate the manufacturers’ name and price. I think it is very helpful. If you know a brand, just key in and you can find the generic name of the drug and the list of brands available for that with price and company information.
You can see the below screenshot I have taken for brand search for “gentamicin,” an eye drops preparation.

Hi Srinivas!
I am not a doctor to give you an advice. I have given these details as a reference to know more about the drugs and their usage. Please consult your physician to know more about these drugs and do not follow anything available on the internet, it may be harmful.
If you want to know more about the drugs you are prescribed, register at Medclik. Go to the “Brands” section and input the drug names. It will show you all the available branded drugs for the drug you entered. Below that you will see an option “Pharmacology of (Generic name of the drug)” and click on that to see the mechanism of action, side effects, contraindications, and precautions.
Please refer to these sites to know more about the stroke:

I don’t think the Medclik section for Online drug search is still there. Any other website for looking up medication info?
November 13th, 2008 at 8:38 pm
@Frank
It seems that they are redesigning the site. I hope they will make it available online again.
November 15th, 2008 at 2:25 pm
dear sir,
please refer me a site which contains a review of all the medicine…..
December 14th, 2008 at 4:54 pm
Medclik used to provide free online drug reference to its registered (free) members.Alas, it has stopped this service now. I don’t know any other site where such service is available for indian brands.There are many sites which give full details of drugs available abroad.
December 15th, 2008 at 8:32 pm
Yes…they seems to have problem with redesign. It is not working for now.
