Very Good

Had this one many years I think. In any event, this is good for nurses, professionals, or those with medical background. They do a really nice profile of a medication. They break down so even average person can benefit. Drug interactions. This almost a between professional and non professional way done. I can understand a bit deeper with chemistry background, staff does provide excellent service if a quality or question.

Review

Not informative enough.

Super useful!

I use this nearly every day at work, always comes in handy!

Immediately requires a trial

I was looking for free study apps for the ptcb exam, unfortunately there’s scarce resources available like that

Outstanding

Retired RN, IV nurse. Aside from a PDR, this app has always been up to date. It cross references, has risks with pregnancy ( not new PLLR) buts it’s too good not to consider this one. I get nothing from writing this. A question, a quick response. Thank you

Very Good

I’ve had this a few years now. It’s my default pharmacy app. I’m RN, have done many things, mostly IV nurse , OR. Ready to retire, I use this for myself, other family members. The Pharmacists editing, writing, do it at a level o e can learn/understand. They do include a link to FDA, NLM. Highly recommend this one to anyone, especially nurses. A question, it’s answered sooner than a few days. Thank you

Seriously

Is this some kind of joke. You cant take care of patients with this app. It gives you hardly any info about the drug. Im a physician and you cant be using this app.

Review

It would be much more precise if it gave a description of what this drug is specifically for and what it will do to the bacterial infection. The definition given is too vague.

AWESOME

Fast, very helpful. I like how you can search drugs via indications. I would recommend.

Great Script App

I started using this when it was free. By now, I am a senior citizen taking a plethora of drugs. Half are prescribed while the other half are supplements or “hacks”. This app is a handy tool particularly if you’re visiting a new specialist or you’re tweaking a drug that you still take. That’s when the “past” drug list comes in real handy. I do wish there was an easy way to transfer medication data to a family member’s phone. I almost have my hubby convinced that the app is more helpful compared to the paper list he keeps in his wallet. It does take some time to set up, IMO.

This is full of information. I know it is updated regularly. I have sent questions, and received a timely response. This is a great one for Registered Nurses. I have had a while now. This is a top of the list if one understands medications and/or is interested. Thank you; Robert Martin RN

Amazing app!

Since my stroke, I have a vast number of medications prescribed by doctors. This app has helped me be an informed partner in my health care. It often provides the basis for discussion with my physician -- particularly when prescribing new medications or when I have concerns about side effects. As others have mentioned, there are plans to change to a subscription model in the future.I believe this fair because this app functions as a pharmacist that you can consult at any time. Medications and information about them is always changing.

Presentation of Subscription Screen

What went wrong?

I have had this app for years and have always found it very helpful. Now when I go to interaction checker all I get is “Check Internet”.
If I wanted to check the internet I would not be paying for the convenience of this app.

Not recommended

Not handy at all and some available medicine in market even showing for evaluation, need to update in generic or molecular terms of medicine so it can better accessible

Very Good the best RX app out would recommend it highly

I think this app is very good. I gave it 4 stars because I felt it was just missing a few things. One would be a medication reminder, and the 2nd thing would be, they need to add over the counter medications. For example; Aspirin & Tylenol, to the medication list. Outside of that I believe this is the best Rx app I've had. I would highly recommend

Great app

This is a fantastic app. Super helpful to track meds. Love that I can print out a well formatted report and hand it to the nurse at any appointment. Thanks much and keep up the good work!

Outstanding

I also am RN, one extra year schooling in pharmokinetics, to be IV RN. Over 45+ years have used PDR, Mosby, just about every major drug company book. I also rate 5*. Still active license, I have used and still default to this amazing app. I have also contacted the developer RphD , and within several days or shorter get a response. This is well worth the yearly price. Thank You, Robert E. Martin RN. A.S.
