Crashes

Just downloaded this App. When searching for an antidote it crashes after initial search and you cannot get back to search area or home page. Deleted and reinstalled app but same thing happened

Saved many a life.

Consistently works, good offline access. A built in print/send option would be great.

The best. Bar none.

Easy to use, quick unambiguous answers are available. As of this month, it is no longer offered to clinicians like myself outside the UK. I had to entirely readapt my practice to accommodate losing this invaluable resource. LexiTox, POISINDEX, etc. are useless in comparison, and infinitely more expensive. -- In a crisis I want to know two things: 1. Is the patient about to deteriorate?; 2. What treatments should be rendered. TOXBASE answers in seconds, whereas there is sometimes over a hundred pages of information from other sources. Very sad to see it is no longer available.
