### 5/5 — Time saver

*2013-10-07*

Great time saver, especially in paeds

### 5/5 — Great time-saver!

*2012-11-26*

Saves time and reduces stress. I recommend this app.

### 5/5 — Great guideline

*2012-05-17*

This is an Australian based app, therefore most dosages, medications and packaging are for the Australian market. This is because Dr Ha is based here. There are notes within the app stating this and welcoming suggestions from users in other countries. Please don't discredit a very useful app because it doesn't revolve around the US.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2012-05-11, version 3.0*

Works great as a quick reference, worth the price, highly recommended

### 1/5 — Maybe in Australia...

*2011-09-20*

Many common drugs (U.S.) omitted.  Not very comprehensive.  Needs mg/kg dosing for peds.

### 1/5 — Waste of money!!

*2011-08-06*

I bought this bc i just started handwriting Rx's when i learned on a computer system...it doesnt have anything about vicodin...it is written in a very confusing way...and uses drugs that most of my attendings have never written in dentistry...save your money!

### 5/5 — Dental

*2011-07-27*

Good app. Well set out and easy to use. Makes writing prescriptions a lot easier. Well worth it for things you don't prescribe everyday as well as providing an easy way to look up dosages for children.

### 5/5 — recommended

*2011-07-23*

Surprisingly comprehensive, I've got the therapeutic guidelines on my computer at work, but still tend to use this app. If I'm unsure - its quicker to navigate, gives a list of appropriate tx options, splits doses by age and weight, and the info is accurate.

### 5/5 — Great job

*2011-07-23*

This app is user friendly, easy to use, saves time especially when you have more patients in the waiting room and looking up mims is too time consuming. Good job!

### 5/5 — Excellent app for the dental professional

*2011-07-23*

This app is extremely useful for writing those scripts that we don't memorize.... The 10kg child dose for penicillin, the script for denture related candidal infections and even maximum LA doses... No more searching for that old copy of mims - it's all right here! Saves time and very comprehensive - A+
