Care Compass Japan

MEDICINE FINDER

Know what is in the box.

Japanese over-the-counter medicines, explained from the label, with the brands you know from home.

Look up Japanese over-the-counter medicines by name, ingredient or the brand you use at home.

This shows what each box’s label says: active ingredients, the label’s own uses and the sales class. It does not tell you what to take. Show the box to the pharmacist and ask before you buy, especially if you take other medicines, are pregnant or are buying for a child. Care Compass Japan provides navigational guidance, not medical diagnosis or treatment advice. If you are experiencing symptoms, please consult a qualified healthcare professional or visit an accredited hospital/clinic.

Where to buy near you

Shows the closest pharmacies and drugstores and the nearest convenience stores. Most medicines are sold at drugstores and pharmacies; convenience stores mainly carry quasi-drugs and only some sell Class 2 or 3 medicines. Stock varies, so check in the store. Opening hours come from Google Maps. Your location is sent only to Google to look up stores.

DayQuil Severe Cold & Flu Liquid

Contains Acetaminophen (325 mg per 15 mL), Dextromethorphan hydrobromide (10 mg per 15 mL), Guaifenesin (200 mg per 15 mL), Phenylephrine hydrochloride (5 mg per 15 mL).

Closest Japanese analogues are the Pabron/Benza Block multi-symptom lines. Japanese cold combos usually add dihydrocodeine (an opioid cough suppressant, 8 mg/packet in Pabron Gold A) and dl-methylephedrine instead of phenylephrine: read the label before combining with other medicines, and note dihydrocodeine products have their own import restrictions in many countries.
