Description

Tired of hearing residents and attendings throw out brand names that don’t match the generics you studied? This add-on bridges the gap by automatically appending brand names to drug generics while reviewing cards. Additionally, it never modifies your actual cards. It only adjusts what you see during review. This means your notes remain untouched, and when AnkiHub or other shared decks update, the brand names continue to appear seamlessly without conflicts. 🛠️ Example Before: “Metoprolol reduces HR” After: “Metoprolol (Lopressor; Toprol-XL) reduces HR” ✨ Features Automatically shows brand names right alongside generics during review Ships with a large default library (hundreds of drugs already mapped) Easy editor to add your own drug–brand pairs Options to exclude whole decks or tagged cards if you don’t want them touched Works on Windows, macOS, and Linux (Qt6 builds of Anki)
