About TVPills

A simple reference tool for the prescription drugs and supplements you see advertised on TV.

Why we built this

Prescription drug and supplement ads are everywhere on television, but the ads rarely explain what a product actually does in plain language. TVPills exists to answer the simple question: "What was that pill for?" Look up any advertised medication or supplement and find out what it treats, how it works, and its common side effects — all in everyday language.

What we cover

We track the most heavily advertised and most-searched prescription drugs and supplements across the United States, Canada, and New Zealand. For each product you'll find a clear explanation, the conditions it relates to, and helpful links to learn more or compare prices.

How TVPills stays free

TVPills is free to use. We keep it that way through advertising and affiliate partnerships — when you click certain links (for example, to buy a supplement or find a discount on a medication), we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. This never affects the information we provide.

Important: not medical advice

TVPills is an educational reference tool only. It is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always talk to a qualified doctor or pharmacist before starting, stopping, or changing any medication or supplement.
