Drug interactions

I have all of my prescriptions listed in the drug interactions section and it says no drug interactions found!! That’s crazy because most of my drugs interact with some of them serious and yet nothing!! It used to list the interactions with each and every drug I’m currently on. I just went to list a new one because two of my meds interacted in a way that caused my breathing too to worse. That’s when I noticed that now it says no drug interactions!!
This used to be the best thing on this app. I had a way to keep an eye on all the different interactions so I could discuss them with my doctor but now no clue. What a shame!!

Doesn’t work in the UK

All of the doctors are based in America, so would not recommend this app if you’re not from America.

Mark’s Mentioning

I find Web MD to be. An invaluable aid in diagnosing personal medical questions, and translating “doctor-speak” into understandable English. It helps me understand medications and their use.

Ankle soreness

I just wanted to find a treatment for a sore ankle. As far as the answers I wanted. I was not able to get anything close to what I needed! Useless app for this!

Update has deleted medication history

After an app upgrade, all my historical stats relating to my medication has disappeared. It seems I haven’t taken my meds all year now. Not helpful and not very clear why this has happened or how to resolve.
