MedAid is a medication organization and reminder app designed to help users manage their medications more effectively.
MedAid is not a medical device, does not provide medical advice, and must not be used as a substitute for professional medical care.
Please read this disclaimer carefully before using the app.
1. No Medical Advice
MedAid provides general medication information and reminder tools.
It does NOT provide:
- medical advice
- diagnosis
- treatment
- clinical decision support
- instructions for starting, stopping, or adjusting medications
All decisions involving medications — including dosage, frequency, and potential interactions — must be made only with guidance from a licensed Canadian healthcare professional.
If you have questions about how to take a medication or whether it is appropriate for you, consult your doctor or pharmacist.
2. Not for Emergency Use
MedAid must not be used in emergency situations, including:
- suspected overdose
- severe or unexpected side effects
- allergic reactions
- urgent or life-threatening symptoms
If you believe you are experiencing a medical emergency in Canada, call 911 immediately or go to the nearest emergency department.
Important regarding external information
Some informational pages displayed in the app — particularly from:
- MedlinePlus (U.S. National Library of Medicine)
- NIH Office of Dietary Supplements (ODS)
may reference U.S.-specific emergency numbers, such as:
- 911 (U.S. context)
- Poison Help: 1-800-222-1222
These numbers and instructions are not applicable in Canada.
For medical emergencies or overdose concerns in Canada, contact your local emergency services or your provincial poison control centre.
MedAid does not modify or verify emergency guidance provided by external sources.
3. Data Sources and Limitations
When used in Canada, MedAid displays medication data from:
- Health Canada Drug Product Database (DPD)(including Drug Identification Numbers, product monographs, and approved information)
MedAid also provides access to additional educational content from:
- MedlinePlus (U.S. National Library of Medicine)
- National Institutes of Health – Office of Dietary Supplements (ODS)
- OpenFDA (U.S. Food & Drug Administration) – drug identification data (RxCUI identifiers) used to match Canadian medications with MedlinePlus information sources for ingredient details.
OpenFDA Notice: Per openFDA’s terms of service: “Do not rely on openFDA to make decisions regarding medical care. While we make every effort to ensure that data is accurate, you should assume all results are unvalidated.” For more information, visit: https://open.fda.gov/terms/
