This paper explores the application of the random forest algorithm for the alternate medicine recommendation. In this work the users able to search alternate medicine for their particular prescribed medicine. The main aim of the proposed system is to provide the users with alternate recommendation of medicines based on their content and shows the medicines as per ascending order of cost. It also has a facility to users to provide ratings for a particular medicine. Proposed System Architecture for content-based systems, one needs to assess the similarity of any many distinct medicines. If there exists a sufficient textual description for each medicine, this can be achieved via random forest algorithm. However, a user`s input medicine must contain all contain of medicine otherwise no similarity measuring can be performed.
