Description

A pharmacology-focused Anki add-on designed to bridge the gap between generic drug names and their commercial counterparts. Perfect for medical students and clinicians who need to recognize both naming conventions in real-time.

๐Ÿš€ Features

  • Massive Library: Over 800+ drugs pre-mapped from common analgesics to critical care agents like Dexmedetomidine and Sugammadex
  • Smart Insertion: Automatically appends brand names in parentheses, e.g., Acetaminophen (Tylenol)
  • Custom Styling: Personalize the color of your appended brand names or reset to deck defaults anytime
  • Seamless Mobile Sync: Script is embedded into card templates so brand names display natively on AnkiMobile (iOS) and AnkiDroid
  • Exclusion Logic: Blacklist specific tags (like NoBrand) or entire deck hierarchies to keep your non-med cards clean
  • Custom Mapping & In-App Feedback: Add your own drug pairs directly via the settings UI, or submit missing drugs/feedback with the built-in reporter
