About Mr. Dokita

Nigeria's plain-English drug information platform

What is Mr. Dokita?

Mr. Dokita is a free Nigerian drug information platform that helps everyday Nigerians understand their medications. We provide plain-English information about drugs available in Nigeria — including what they treat, how to take them, side effects, brand names, and important precautions.

Why we built it

Most drug information online is written for healthcare professionals in medical jargon that everyday people cannot understand. In Nigeria, where self-medication is common and access to pharmacists is uneven, this creates real risks. Mr. Dokita was built to bridge that gap — giving Nigerians access to clear, accurate, and locally relevant drug information in plain language.

Our data

Drug information on Mr. Dokita is derived from NAFDAC-registered products in Nigeria, combined with globally recognised clinical data. Brand names reflect products registered with the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC).

Important disclaimer

Mr. Dokita is for general information purposes only. It is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always consult a qualified healthcare professional before starting, stopping, or changing any medication.
