Our mission
Your guide to understanding medications and taking care of your health, wherever you are
Moving to or spending time in another country can be exciting… until you need a doctor or medication. Brand names change, prescription rules are different, pharmacies operate differently, and you don't know if what they're offering is similar to what you were taking back home.
Vitals Today was created to support you in this situation. We are an independent website that explains, in clear language, how medications and healthcare systems work in different countries. We rely on official sources and current evidence, such as product information sheets, package inserts, and clinical guidelines, and have a team of professional journalists supported by experienced physicians.
Our goal is to help you better understand what you've been prescribed, whether a medication is over-the-counter or prescription, what risks it may have, and when it's important to seek professional help. We're starting with Spain and will gradually add other countries. Our content is already available in Spanish, English, and French, so you can access information in the language that's most convenient for you.

A support, not a substitute
The information provided by Vitals Today is for informational purposes only and is not a substitute for medical advice or emergency services. We do not provide personalized diagnoses or recommend changes in treatment; this should always be done by a healthcare professional familiar with your case.
Before taking or changing any medication, you should read the official package insert and follow your doctor's or pharmacist's instructions, especially regarding dosage, duration, and contraindications. If you have any questions or your symptoms worsen, we recommend that you always consult a healthcare professional in the country where you are.
