# Install globally
npm install -g swedish-medications

# Add to your OpenClaw config (~/.openclaw/config.yaml)
skills:

# Your agent can now answer:

"Is Ipren prescription-only in Sweden?"
                    
                

                    
# Clone the repo
git clone https://github.com/birgermoell/swedish-medications.git

# Copy into Codex skills directory
mkdir -p ~/.codex/skills
cp -R swedish-medications ~/.codex/skills/swedish-medications

Then restart the Codex app. The skill will appear as Swedish Medications in the skills list.

Notes

The Codex app reads SKILL.md and agents/openai.yaml from ~/.codex/skills/swedish-medications.

If you update the repo, re-copy the folder into ~/.codex/skills/ and restart Codex.

// Install as dependency
npm install swedish-medications

// Use in your code
const { lookupMedication, findMedication } = require('swedish-medications');

// Get formatted markdown output

💬 Example Use Cases

Questions your AI agent can now answer:

💊 "What is Ozempic?"

Get substance (semaglutid), use (diabetes/weight loss), manufacturer (Novo Nordisk), prescription status, and FASS link.

📋 "What ADHD medications are available?"

Search returns Concerta, Elvanse, Ritalin, Strattera, Attentin — with dosages and controlled substance warnings.

⚖️ "Alvedon vs Ipren?"

Compare paracetamol vs ibuprofen — when to use each, max doses, stomach/liver warnings.

💉 "My doctor prescribed sertralin"

Explain what SSRIs do, 2-4 week onset, don't stop abruptly, common side effects.

🔍 "Search insulin medications"

Multi-result search: Lantus, NovoRapid, Ozempic, Fiasp — with ATC codes and Rx status.

🇸🇪 "Är Voltaren receptfritt?"

Works in Swedish too — gel is OTC (receptfritt), tablets are Rx (receptbelagt).
