Bolus: Medication Checker

Is this okay to take with my other medicines?

That question tends to arrive at the worst possible time. Late evening, the pharmacy shut, a new box in your hand and nobody left to ask. Maybe you are caring for a parent's pill organiser, juggling your own prescriptions, or walking into a doctor's appointment wanting real questions, not guesses. Bolus was built for exactly that moment, and for every medication that comes after it.

Bolus helps you understand how your medicines may interact with each other, with food, with supplements, with alcohol, and with health conditions. Add a medication by scanning the label or searching by name, then confirm what Bolus finds. The checks run on your device and completely offline.

WHAT BOLUS FLAGS FOR YOU

1. Drug-drug interactions: where medications may clash with each other
2. Food timing: tablets that need to be taken with food, before food, or spaced apart
3. Supplement interactions: including vitamins, minerals and herbal products
4. Alcohol warnings
5. Condition-based flags for people managing other health issues
6. Older-adult and polypharmacy risks, drawing on STOPP/START
7. Allergy and related-drug-family checks
8. Kidney, liver, weight and condition-aware safety flags

SCAN THE BOX, OR SEARCH THE NAME

Point your camera at a label and Bolus reads it on the device itself. No photo is uploaded anywhere. You can also search by brand or generic name, or add a tablet by hand. Every medication you add joins one clear list you can actually read, and the interaction checks run again across the whole list each time.

PLAIN-LANGUAGE SAFETY

Bolus explains what matters in ordinary language. Where a flag can be traced to a named source, Bolus shows it, and Pro adds deeper mechanisms and citation trails. The aim is to help you walk into your next appointment with an informed question for your doctor or pharmacist, not a vague worry.

A DAILY SCHEDULE THAT UNDERSTANDS TIMING

Bolus builds medication reminders around your actual medicines and flags when timing matters, such as spacing tablets apart or taking one with food. Dose reminders arrive when they should. Set it once. Let Bolus carry the mental load.

ONE CARD, EVERYTHING THAT MATTERS

Your emergency card can live on your lock screen: medicines, allergies and critical information visible when someone needs them, even if you cannot explain it yourself.

A RECORD FOR REAL LIFE

Keep a private timeline of what you started, stopped, changed or noticed. Bolus works as a quiet medication tracker over months, not just a reminder for today. Symptoms can be recorded alongside recent medicine changes, so timing becomes a clue you can discuss with your doctor.

ONE LIST TO BRING TO YOUR APPOINTMENT

Most people cannot recall every dose and strength under pressure. Bolus keeps a complete medication list you can show to a doctor, a pharmacist, or whoever is treating you when it matters. Pro can export it as a clear written summary to hand over, so an appointment starts with facts instead of a bag of boxes.

BUILT PRIVATE. BUILT TO STAY THAT WAY.

No account. No cloud. No analytics. No trackers. Your medicine list and health details stay on your device unless you choose to export them.

Bolus is made for real people: people managing several medications, carers and caregivers helping family members, older adults who deserve clarity, and anyone who wants to walk into a pharmacy or a doctor's appointment prepared.

Bolus draws on named public and clinical pharmacology sources, including UK, US and international medicines references. Where a flag can be traced to one of them, Bolus shows the source, and Bolus Pro adds deeper mechanisms and citation trails.

It is a reference and decision-support tool, not a diagnosis or treatment service. It may be incomplete or wrong. Always speak to your doctor or pharmacist before starting, stopping or changing any medicine.
