For AI Agents

$3

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?"

$3

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

`javascript
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)
};
`
