The Active Salt Database

What is the MediSaathi active salt database?

The MediSaathi active salt database is a comprehensive, meticulously curated index designed to map thousands of expensive branded medicines directly to their underlying active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). In the Indian healthcare market, patients frequently overpay for medications simply because they are unaware that bioequivalent generic alternatives exist. Our database currently tracks over 1,200 unique active salts and maps them against more than 45,000 commercially available branded drug formulations. By searching our database, patients and healthcare providers can instantly identify cheaper generic substitutes that offer the exact same clinical efficacy, safety profile, and dosage strength as their branded counterparts. This unparalleled level of transparency enables consumers to compare prices across leading digital pharmacies—such as PharmEasy, 1mg, Apollo, Netmeds, Truemeds, MedPlus, and PlatinumRx—and routinely secure maximum price variances of up to 80% on their essential prescription and over-the-counter medications.
