The app currently focuses on drugs for cardiovascular and mental health diseases. It covers essential information such as what the medication is for (indication), when and why it shouldn't be taken (warning), potential harmful consequences (adverse effect), how it interacts with other substances (interaction), and basic advice on usage (counseling).

Is Medscrab free to use?

How does Medscrab help with medication adherence?

What are the different levels in Medscrab?

Medscrab features five levels of word scrabble games, with each level focusing on a unique type of medication information. After completing the five levels, users can take a short quiz to check their overall knowledge about the specific medication they played.
