You can store a leaflet in one of the libraries. When you find the leaflet, click on the book icon at the top right and add it by clicking on the “+” sign.

You can create up to three libraries, each capable of storing a maximum of 20 leaflets. For example, you can have one library for yourself, one for your partner, and another for your children.

The first time you store a leaflet in a library, Leaphy will suggest a default library named “Library 1.” Store the leaflet here.

On the home page, click on the settings icon at the top right of your screen. Here, you can rename, save, or remove a library.

When storing the next leaflet, you will have the option to create a new library. You can have up to three libraries, each capable of containing a maximum of 20 leaflets.

Leaphy provides an image of the medicine package. This is an ongoing process, so the image might not be available yet. However, it will be added soon.

To remove a leaflet from a library, go to the home page and select the library. Then, tap and hold on the leaflet image. A screen will pop up asking you to confirm or to cancel the deletion.

No, when a leaflet is updated, the changes are immediately visible in Leaphy, except for the GTIN data that is related to your personal package. If this medication is empty, you should delete the leaflet and perform a new scan so the Gtin data of the new package are updated as well. 

There might be instances where a leaflet does not appear in the Leaphy app. While we strive to include all medicines, new medicines may not be visible immediately as this is an ongoing process. Please note that Leaphy only contains leaflets for medicines, not for para pharmacy or cosmetic products available at the pharmacy.

If you wish to report a missing leaflet, please send an email to info@leaphy.com, and we will address the issue promptly.

The leaflet data come from the governmental organization “FAGG – AFMPS” in Belgium, which provides all leaflets in PDF format. Leaphy converts this data into an electronic format according to the directives of the European Medicines Agency (EMA) and does not change any content or structure. We continuously update our database. The price and reimbursement information comes from the SamV2 database.

Currently, Leaphy offers all medicine leaflets for Belgium in three languages: Dutch, French, and German. We are working towards expanding our services to cover all EU countries. Rest assured, you will be notified once this expansion occurs.

The text size of the leaflets is designed to be easily readable and to seamlessly fit into the app’s design. However, if you prefer a larger text size, you can adjust your device’s text settings, as Leaphy follows these settings.

The Leaphy app is completely free to download for everyone, including patients and healthcare providers, who are the primary users. There are no costs associated with using the app, and there is no premium version available for purchase.

Leaphy provides a vital service by offering access to medicine leaflets. It’s important to note that Leaphy does not aim to recommend any medical therapy or treatment.

We always advise reaching out to your physician or pharmacist if you have any questions regarding your medicines. (see also the legal conditions in the app)
