About Ogbogwu.com
Ogbogwu.com is Nigeria's comprehensive drug information platform. We make pharmaceutical information accessible, accurate, and useful for pharmacists, healthcare workers, traders, and consumers across Nigeria.
Named after the famous Ogbogwu drug market in Onitsha — also written Ogbo Ogwu or Ogbo-Ogwu, the Bridge Head market that is the largest open pharmaceutical market in West Africa — our platform aims to bring the same breadth of information online, verified and organised for the digital age. Whether you're a pharmacist checking NAFDAC registration, a trader comparing brand prices, or a consumer wanting to verify your medication, Ogbogwu.com is built for you.
Our Mission
To reduce the harm caused by counterfeit and substandard medicines in Nigeria by making drug information freely accessible to everyone. We believe that informed consumers, traders, and healthcare workers are the strongest defence against the fake drug epidemic.
Nigeria loses an estimated 500,000 lives annually to counterfeit medicines according to WHO estimates. By providing free access to NAFDAC registration data, verification tools, and pharmaceutical market intelligence, we aim to empower every Nigerian to make safer drug purchasing decisions.

Where Our Data Comes From
- •Registration data comes from the NAFDAC Greenbook, Nigeria's official public register of approved products. Registration numbers and statuses are shown exactly as the Greenbook records them, and pages note when our copy was taken. Official listings can lag renewals, so always confirm current status on the Greenbook itself before acting on it.
- •Prices combine typical Nigerian pharmacy ranges with figures sampled from licensed Nigerian online pharmacies, refreshed on a regular cycle. Prices are indicative — they span brands and pack sizes, and open-market prices are often lower.
- •Drug information (uses, dosage, side effects, warnings) is written and maintained editorially, drawing on standard references — the WHO Model List of Essential Medicines, the British National Formulary (BNF), and Nigeria's Standard Treatment Guidelines — and dated on every page.
- •Spotted an error? Email info@ogbogwu.com — corrections are reviewed and published promptly.
