Finding the official listed price of a medicine in Kuwait should not be difficult. The information exists in price lists published by the Kuwait Ministry of Health, but a long document is not the easiest thing to search when you are standing in a pharmacy or checking a prescription on your phone.
That problem became Kuwait Drug Prices: an independent, bilingual directory for searching published retail and wholesale medicine prices in Kuwaiti dinars.
The project now contains 6,230 medicines from the 2026 list, preserves data from 2025, and lets people search in English or Arabic. It also provides a structured dataset and API for other tools. It is not a pharmacy, a medical service, or an official government website. It reports listed prices; it does not promise that a medicine is in stock or that every pharmacy will sell it at that exact price.
The site looks simple. Building it responsibly was not.
