I am hoping I have them correct through the use of this site. Am comfirming with my daughter who is fluent in Mandarin but might not know the medical terms.

Go to the main Google page. Click on 'Language Tools' on the right-hand side of the search box. In the 'Translate text' box, just enter the English generic drug name and select English>Chines (Simplified) in the dropdown lists below the text box. Results are fairly accurate first time around. If you want to verify the results, copy the Chinese translation and select 'swap' to convert it into English. Or, you can copy the Chinese chracters and then do a regular search in google. It's pretty easy to idenitfy the online pharmacy websites (or you can click 'translate this page'(or you can use Chinese Wikipedia. The fastest way is to just use Google Language Tools.

I spent all day outside yesterday at Chaoyang park and could barely sleep last night due to my asthma. Of course, my inhaler happened to run out in the middle of the night as well. I found this site at 4:30am in the morning and went straight to the pharmacy at 9am. They didn't recognize the first hanzi, but recognized the second and in less than 5 minutes (and 38RMB later), I'm breathing easy again. I love the internet! Thank you thank you thank you!

I was actualy looking for an albuterol inhaler. Trying to find U.S medicine translated to chinese is very difficult. My wife is chinese and still can't translate it because of no medical knowledge. Thank you for saving me a lot of time. Thanks for the info. I was actualy looking for an albuterol inhaler. Trying to find U.S medicine translated to chinese is very difficult.

It has a lot of medical terminology...not so many medications. But if you're looking for help in describing your symptoms so that you won't end up with an unnecessary IV or a bunch of irrelevant prescriptions...this may help. http://www.scribd.com/doc/129738/Chinese-Medical-Translation-Guide I just found this site.

Since there's no pinyin, the <a href="http://laowaichinese.net/wanted-hover-hanzi-helper.htm" rel="nofollow">Hover Hanzi Helper</a> thing for Firefox comes in handy.

You find the generic name of the drug (online usually), look it up in the dictionary, and show it to the pharmacist. (Who will likely say mei you, but then you can copy down the hanzi and try to track it down elsewhere.) This was a good solution for us when we lived in Sanya, which is not a terribly large city, so it might work for anyone who isn't living in some tiny village.
