### 2/5 — This for Professionals not layperson

*2021-07-31*

I have been giving my small cairn terrier palliative care at home. I have the *most awful* time giving her pills. I have a compounding pharmacy making a liquid, fruit flavored liquid version. I wanted to search for the medicine and find out it’s name and any other information. She’s on Tramadol and Gabapentin.  I didn’t realize this app was $69. I hope people search and realize the content and cost before hitting "subscribe"  I felt sort of tricked because it said "FREE" app - I didn’t see any menu or guide - way too over designed with moving icons you don’t know what they are- you go round and round. Not user friendly. - Linda H.
