For AI Agents

OpenClaw Skill

This package works as an OpenClaw skill. When installed, your AI agent can:

1. Look up medications when users ask about them
2. Translate between Swedish brand names and substances
3. Provide dosage and safety information
4. Link to official FASS documentation

Trigger phrases the agent recognizes:

• "What is Alvedon?"
• "Tell me about paracetamol"
• "Can I take Ipren for headaches?"
• "What's the dosage for sertralin?"

Using with Other Agents

The module exports clean functions you can wire into any agent framework:

const { lookupMedication, findMedication, COMMON_MEDICATIONS } = require('swedish-medications');

// For tool/function calling
const medicationTool = {
  name: "swedish_medication_lookup",
  description: "Look up Swedish medication information by name",
  parameters: {
    query: { type: "string", description: "Medication name (brand or substance)" }
  },
  execute: (params) => lookupMedication(params.query)
