Cause & Cure is a bidirectional clinical study reference. Start from a disease and see how it's treated. Start from a drug and see what it treats. Start from an organism and see what it causes and what covers it. Every link works in both directions, so you can follow your thinking instead of the app's. Built for the way rotations actually work: you hear a drug name on rounds and need to know what it's for, or you see a presentation and need to know what's likely and what to reach for. WHAT'S INSIDE • Diseases with specialty, management overview, and tagged treatment options • Medications with class, mechanism, indications, dosing, half-life, metabolism, excretion, monitoring, max dose, renal/hepatic adjustment, and pregnancy/lactation notes • Organisms with type, morphology, features, and source — plus how each presents as a syndrome, and which drugs cover it • A drug interaction reference, organised by severity THERAPY TAGS Treatments are tagged first-line, alternative, second-line, prophylaxis, adjunct, symptomatic, or avoid — with a "use when" note explaining the context. Rename and recolour the tags to match how you think. HOSPITAL-SPECIFIC PLANS Formularies differ between sites. Tag a treatment to a hospital and it appears alongside the general standard, so you can carry one reference across rotations without losing what's specific to where you are. DAILY QUIZ Ten questions a day, generated from the reference itself — first-line therapy, what a drug treats, which organism causes a syndrome, coverage, mechanisms, half-lives. Miss one and it comes back tomorrow; get it right and it spaces out. Nearly 1,800 questions. MARK WHAT YOU TRUST Flag an entry as verified, or as needing correction with a note on what's wrong. Your review status is personal to you, and a data update will never overwrite something you've verified. SEARCH One search field covers diseases, medications, and organisms at once. PRIVATE AND OFFLINE No account. No analytics. No tracking. No servers. Everything you add stays on your device. The full reference ships inside the app and works with no connection. IMPORTANT — PLEASE READ Cause & Cure is a study and reference tool for medical education. It is not medical advice and not a substitute for professional clinical judgement. It must not be used to diagnose, treat, or make decisions for real patients. Drug doses and treatment information are study drafts curated from third-party references and may be incomplete, out of date, or incorrect. Always verify against an authoritative source and current guidelines before any clinical use. The interaction reference is a study aid only — not a real-world interaction checker. It shows only what is in its own catalogue, and an empty result never means a combination is safe. Do not enter patient-identifiable information into the app.
