The Spanish Agency for Medicines and Health Products (AEMPS) has recently launched MeQA, a new virtual assistant designed to answer questions about human-use medicines. This interactive tool marks an important step forward in making health information more accessible and reliable. MeQA allows users to ask questions in natural, everyday language—like “What is this medicine for?” or “Can I drive while taking it?”—and provides immediate, accurate responses based on the official AEMPS database.
By integrating MeQA into the Online Medicines Information Center (CIMA), AEMPS has ensured that this virtual assistant is grounded in up-to-date and trustworthy sources. Its goal is to support both healthcare professionals and the general public by simplifying access to complex pharmaceutical information. Whether it’s a doctor needing quick details for a clinical decision or a patient unsure about how a medication might affect their daily routine, MeQA offers a straightforward solution.
One of its most valuable features is that it requires no registration and is available to everyone at no cost. This ease of access makes it a practical tool for improving medication safety and empowering users to make informed decisions. With MeQA, AEMPS not only embraces digital innovation but also reinforces its commitment to public health by ensuring that essential information about medicines is just a question away.
