How RxAllergyScan Works
Check your medications for hidden allergens like lactose, soy, or gluten in seconds with our allergy medication scan—no medical degree required.

RXAllergyScan makes it easy to ensure your prescriptions are safe. Our prescription allergy check uses trusted data from RxNorm and DailyMed, provided by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), to identify allergens in medications. First, create an account to save your allergen profile. Then, enter your medication details to get instant results. This simple process helps you avoid reactions to inactive ingredients like lactose, soy, or gluten, which are common in many prescriptions.
Why is this important? Many medications contain hidden allergens that can trigger reactions if overlooked. For example, lactose is often used in tablets, while soy or gluten may appear in coatings. Our allergy medication scan cross-references your selected allergens with drug data, providing clear safety notes. Because we rely on authoritative sources, you can trust the results. Learn more about medication safety at the NIH website or explore allergen information at the FDA’s drug safety page.
Follow these simple steps to scan your medications and protect your health.
