About WhichMedicine
Last updated: 30 November 2025
Our Purpose
WhichMedicine was created to help Australians quickly find appropriate over-the-counter solutions for common health concerns. We understand that navigating the pharmacy aisle can be overwhelming, and our goal is to simplify that process with clear, accessible information.
What We Do
Our symptom checker uses AI-powered technology to:
- • Assess your reported symptoms through guided questions
- • Provide personalized recommendations for OTC products available in Australian pharmacies
- • Offer general health information and self-care advice
- • Help you understand when to seek professional medical care
🤖 AI-Powered Technology
WhichMedicine uses artificial intelligence (AI) to analyze your symptoms and generate personalized over-the-counter medicine recommendations. Our AI provides pharmacist-style guidance based on:
- • Your reported symptoms and health profile
- • Evidence-based medical information
- • Australian pharmacy product availability
- • TGA-approved medication guidelines
Important: All recommendations are AI-generated and should be verified with a qualified pharmacist or doctor before use. AI technology, while advanced, cannot replace professional medical judgment.

Our AI Technology
WhichMedicine is powered by advanced artificial intelligence (AI) technology that analyzes your symptoms and health information to provide tailored OTC recommendations.
How Our AI Works
Our AI system processes your symptom information, considers your health profile (age, pregnancy status, allergies), and cross-references this with medical databases to suggest appropriate OTC products. The AI mimics the decision-making process a pharmacist might use when recommending over-the-counter treatments.
AI Limitations
While our AI is sophisticated, it has limitations. It cannot physically examine you, order tests, or account for all individual medical complexities. The AI provides general guidance that must be validated by healthcare professionals who can assess your complete medical situation.
Continuous Improvement
We regularly update our AI models with the latest medical information and user feedback to improve accuracy and safety. However, AI-generated advice should always be considered a starting point for discussion with your pharmacist or doctor.
