Description
We are pleased to release this new version of Bugs & Drugs.
Bugs & Drugs is a comprehensive, evidence-based reference for physicians, dentists, pharmacists, nurse practitioners and other health care practitioners.
Bugs & Drugs provides clinicians with the latest recommendations for the appropriate use of antimicrobials and the optimal treatment and prevention of infectious diseases. It is also a key component of antimicrobial stewardship efforts. This reference can optimize patient outcomes and minimize the unintended consequences of antimicrobial use, including toxicity, superinfections, resistance, and unnecessary treatment costs.
Bugs & Drugs is divided into six sections:
1. Antibiotics
2. Treatment recommendations for infections in children and adults (including selected ophthalmic, fungal, and parasitic infections),
3. Recommendations for the prevention of infections,
4. Treatment and prophylaxis of dental infections,
5. Infections in Pregnancy and
6. Microbiology
The Bugs & Drugs app is well suited for healthcare practitioners looking for an evidence-based mobile reference and provides therapeutic options in a clear, concise manner.
Once installed, you do not need internet access to use the content. Internet access is only required for initial installation of the app and to receive updates.
The content is prepared by Dr. Edith Blondel-Hill (Medical Microbiologist/Infectious Diseases Specialist, Kelowna General Hospital) and Ms. Susan Fryters (Antimicrobial Stewardship/Infectious Diseases Pharmacist, Alberta Health Services) with the help of over 40 reviewers with expertise in infectious diseases, infection prevention & control, microbiology, pharmacy, and Public Health.
Users should seek a doctor’s advice in addition to using this app and before making any medical decisions.

Ratings and Reviews
See AllSearch bar difficult to use
Good information, but search bar is incredibly hard to use, once I type 3 letters It will force me out of typing mode and show me results, if I wanted to type more letters to finish my word, I can only type one letter at a time because it will force me out of typing mode every time I type a letter. This makes it very cumbersome to search for specific things. I find myself trying to find things by going through the categories instead.
Typing issue
Great app, but as others have said when typing it autocorrects to something else incorrect and makes searching very difficult.
