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.

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!

I start my day @ 5:00 with 5 meds, 10:30 18 meds, 5:00 7 meds, 6:00 1 med, 8:30 2 meds, 10:30 1 med. Did you keep up? 34. This doesn’t count PRN medications like Albuterol for a nebulizer treatment or an inhaler for asthma attack. I’m on a new special chemo treatment pill. THIS app is totally current with it! The interactions with ALL those meds above! AND I don’t use it, but it will print your meds on a wallet size printout, yes even all mine. It will tell you what name and about the pill by it’s color, shape, numbers/letters on it! Even more things! Not just for you, but your whole family! You can set up separate medication lists for everyone. It is amazing! I don’t write reviews for anything. The fact I’m writing for this app and going on this long about it, tells you how awesome it truly is! There are more things, just check it out.
