Missing some meds

I just subscribed to SAMF. I had a case of hypertensive emergency and couldn’t find clevidipine in the database. However, I found it on EMGuidance, which is free. Quite disappointing!

App doesn’t open or work

I literally had to pay R100 to use the app and it didn’t even work. So I paid for nothing. When it has to open it say “Error”
