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.
US · Same active ingredient, different brand
Visine Red Eye Total Comfort Drops
Contains Tetrahydrozoline hydrochloride (0.05%), Polyethylene glycol 400 (1%), Zinc sulfate (0.25%).
Same redness reliever (tetrahydrozoline 0.05%) in Japan's Sante FX Neo: but the Japanese drop also contains neostigmine (a focus-adjusting drug) and chlorpheniramine, so it feels noticeably different. Vasoconstrictor drops in both countries are for short-term use only.
Japanese products with matching ingredients: Sante FX Neo, Mytear V
