Description

Regarded as the gold standard of medicines information and clinical management protocols in South Africa, the South African Medicines Formulary (SAMF), first published in 1988, is a trusted source of information and provides up-to-date, reliable, unbiased and evaluated information on medicines.
Currently on its 15th edition , it has become a standard health practitioner's medicine reference guide, respected for accuracy of content and independence from the pharmaceutical industry. It is now available on this mobile application and supported by a web portal (https://samf-app.com/) which subscribers will have access to.

The SAMF application and Book is a joint initiative of the Division of Clinical Pharmacology at the University of Cape Town and the South African Medical Association (SAMA). Liquid thought maintains the application and web portal.

Not worth it

It’s super brief, not to be compared to the SAMF book. I just don’t think it’s worth your money.

Developer Response ,

We are sorry to hear you have not found the app worthwhile. The SAMF app however contains all the information in the book as well as expanded information for some sections. We are about to launch a new version with an index in the main menu which may be helpful for users that are used to the book. Please note you can also access the content on the website SAMF (samf-app.com) using the login and password created for the app.
