1. 5/5Accurate and Absolutely necessary

   If you take more than 2 pills a day, you need this app. Not only does it allow you to put in all your Rx AND over-the-counter drugs, but it notifies you of any contraindications & rates them from major (severe) to minor. It also explains the best way to take them, will let you know if there’s a recall even before it goes really public, and you can set the App up to notify you to take your medication. It will also check the Rx against your allergy list. Just recently , the app notified me that a new beta blocker I was prescribed had a major interaction with one of my chemos. It took my oncologist a week to find the source of that information in a tiny little article in JAMA, and it was absolutely correct. Things could have gone very south without that information and it was not in any of the Rx literature. This App also provides vital medical information when you or anyone else needs to know what you take in an emergency. You can also print out all the information either as a full sheet or as wallet cards to keep with you. The App is part of the WebMD/ Medline online medical resouce which is one of the best authoritative & updated sources of medical information .

2. 5/5Essential

   If you are taking 4 or more meds, this app is essential. It has a pill identifier included that tells you what pill you have if you find one loose lying around the house, just enter the imprint and what it looks like. It also allows you to create a medication profile, where you list all your medications you take and it cross references them for interactions. It also lists all possible side effects, etc. Also, it serves as an emergency card in case of emergency and say you are in a car accident or knocked unconscious and sent to the hospital, if they can get into your phone and your not conscious to tell them what medications you are on , the hospital or ems people, or your family if they can get into your phone, can put together a list of what medications your on from your medication profile so they know what they can give you and how to treat you without hurting you or causing interactions. With some medications that is very important, such as nalaxone or suboxone, if you are on either of those and in a car accident and need to be intubated, it is essential for them to know you are on either of those two medications. Great app, many more features. If you take more than just a couple meds, this app is for you.

3. 5/5So helpful and convenient!

   I’m chronically ill so I have several medications to keep track of plus me ones that I’m getting prescribed often for infections. The doctor say they don’t interact but I’ve had some bad reactions and didn’t know why. Well, now thanks to this app I can tell you why!! I even have to split my vitamins up and take them at a different time because they’ll interfere with meds. And I have to take my metoprolol at a two hour later window now both morning and night because it was interfering with my one of my other meds and causing an increase in my heart rate which was the opposite affect of why I’m taking it! Since then, problem solved. I needed more potassium because of muscle cramps thanks to ehlers danslos so I ordered some but added it on here and saw the LIFE THREATENING affect they’d have on my because of heart issues I had and basically told me DONT TAKE TAKE THEM. So I cancelled them right away. Over all this app is awesome and wonderful!! No doctor or pharmacist can do what this app can because they can’t keep all this information in their head. So this app is a must to be proactive about your own health! A++++ from me and thank you!!!

4. 5/5MY GO TO PLACE FOR EVERYTHING!

   With the oh so many things going on in the drug industry and the greed of the cheap manufacturers I find it hard to remember what each round white tablet is and I know exactly where to go and what to do. I was a first responder on 9/11 and have Congestive Heart Failure and BIG Pulmonary issues, the skinny me started to work out for pain control issues, not wanting any narcotics at all and my field I always required a fair degree of knowledge about drugs and the drug industry which was once quite a challenge before I found this incredible app. As my life changed it is I who am now always reliant and in need of as much knowledge as I can find although for myself as a priority, I can always rely on what is provided here by searching for my needs as I sadly cannot rely upon my facilitating MD’s, but I can rely on the information I get here and always check which might not interact well or is contraindicated for me as most MDs dont bother. Thank you For it ALL over the years, it has saved lives before, and now I can include my own, and that is quite a lot to say about what I can get here!

5. 2/5STUPID POP-UPS!!!

   This has always been my “Go To” app whenever I needed drug information, information on my medical conditions, alternatives to my meds, and to identify pills that somehow lost their bottle. The most IMPORTANT information I look for is Drug Interactions! I just tried using the app, and was bombarded by pop ups! Ridiculous! I was constantly sweeping these up to close them, but within seconds another one took it’s place. These pop ups weren’t even related to my search! I went to the app settings, and there it was… you can pay to have these pop ups go away… and not even permanently. You have an option for one year, or for a smaller fee, for 3 months. REALLY?? They couldn’t even have a “One Time Only” fee. I totally get that everything comes with a price these days. I’d be more than willing to pay a one time fee to be able to get the information I need - without constantly being interrupted by stupid pop ups that have nothing to do with me! It’s more than irritating to have to constantly close these - because they cover up the content I’m reading. Look… The information this app offers could be life saving for someone. Is getting a few bucks from users really worth losing faithful followers? I can’t use this app this way.

2. 5/5

   it's a load off my mind, to know exactly which meds interact with other meds and what kind of side effects I should be aware of. I can't praise this app enough.
