Don't Leave Home Without It
As a healthcare professional I can't tell you how important a list of meds you take is with you. Too many patients haven't a clue what meds they take and for what conditions. Use this app or get a family member to fill out the info and you are set to go. Indispensable.
2016-10-19
Very helpful app
Easy to read
2015-09-05
Best Free One I've Found
Easy to use and love the reminders. You can edit the last time you took a medication but it would be nice to be able to edit any past times of medication taken.
2014-11-08
Great app
Great app. Clean layout, no glitches, (even on iPad 1/ iOS5!), smooth easy operation, concise easy to access info.
Fantastic. Definite 5 Stars.
2013-10-20
Nice app
Helps when I worry obsessively about mixing pills.
2013-09-09
Very useful app for quick reference
I have been using this App to find out about drug interactions which I find very useful and informative. Well done developers
2013-08-06
Great App!
Wonderful for keeping my meds in order and especially great for giving an up to date list to doctors.
2013-07-28
Very useful tool!
I have used this app so much! While working on my Pharmacy Tech Bridging or studying for PEBCs, this app has gotten me through a lot. Although some Canadian drugs are not listed, the link to Wikipedia made up for it. Very simple, easy to understand lingo made it so easy to learn and understand. Highly recommend.
2013-07-11
Great!
Thorough yet concise. Great for budding health students or interested consumers. Only downside is that the brand names vary country to country, so it is sometimes difficult to find the right drug information if you don't know the trade name. Otherwise fantastic though!
2013-06-24
Absolutely great app!
I really like this application. It helped me notice side effects on a medication my dad was taking that the doctor did not pick up on! Brought it to the doctors attention and his medication was changed. There are so many different meds out there and this app makes it easy to control and flag any issues. Many thanks to the developers!

Keeps track
I like the med box, it keeps track of when I've taken medication, and what OTC mess to avoid
2013-05-28
Excellent app!
This app is very useful and is full of detailed info that as a parent, I find very helpful!
2013-05-24
Excellent!!
Being a paramedic, I find it useful and informative. They made constant improvements since the release for the better. I do recommend it!

Nursing Student
great app, nicely laid out and easy to maneuver.. good for all medication administrators, however the recent update as made it lag and occasionally freeze on my iPhone 5, would be better if there were Canadian names as well
2013-04-19
Good features
The new Med Check feature is a good addition
2013-04-18
Great App
This is a great app., very Informative, it has helped me out a few times. I would give it a five star rating if it also included Canadian drugs. Still pretty good app.

Pocket Rx
Great little app.but needs to expand its data base of medications. Out of the ones I take, only half were in the app. Need to add,drugs from Canada, such as, Cipralex, Zopliclone, and Pantaloc please.
Great idea !

RX Pocket Pharmacist
Great reference tool!
2013-03-30
Excellent app
Works perfectly every time. A wonderful reference for any question related to medications.
2013-03-29
Great
This is great app for every pharmacist. I recommend to add comparison tables (dosage form,indication,maximum dose etc.,) of all drugs in a class.
2013-03-28
Incredibly helpful!
It provides a great and important function, is straight forward in its use and logical in its design. Only thing I could ask for is reminders built into app for taking meds at the specified times
2013-03-23
$$$$$$
Pharm app, has been compromised! Gord!
2013-03-23
Excellent app
This is a simple app. Excellent for understanding the medications you are taking.

This is a very useful drug app I have. I recommend it to nurses.

Very helpful app, use it everyday.
It would be nice if there was a Canadian version though.
2013-01-09
Practically useful
This app is wonderful, it's got everything I need,categories, indications, precautions,side effects, dosages and a lot more. Even thec definition of diseases and conditions in which the drug is used. Valuable

Very handy at work to look up new or unfamiliar meds
2012-08-13
App made easy
This app is one I use everyday. Whether your looking something up to verify something for a patient, or just for your own curiosity. I would be lost without it!!

PocketPharmacist
My comments on the PocketPharmacist APP
Three bucks to check that my doctor and pharmacist are aware of and keeping good track of interactions and side effects of my 11 prescriptions. They ARE! This info should not be place in the hands of the paranoid patient. LOL
I also use another APP called RxMindMe to keep track of meds on hand and remind me to take my meds. I would recommend RxMindMe.
I have found RxMindMe quite useful signaling when pills on hand get below a preset number.
Also, a drum beat sounds to remind me to take my pills.
There is only the note function to keep track of when no more refills are permitted and my doctor will not refill by FAX anymore (new government billing rules for the clinic: by the visit billing instead of my the patient!!!)
RxMindMe is certainly more useful than the PocketPharmacist!!

Very easy to use-can look up meds, interactions etc easily as I pass out my medications at work. Handy application to have on my iPhone
2012-04-09
Lots of information
If your taking several different medications. If you're diabetic. If tracking and gaining more information is important then this app really covers the bases. Get it and use it.
2012-03-31
5+ rating!
As a community health care provider, this app alone has made my investment in an iPad "worth it"! I have a "pill box" for each of my clients which is so easy not only set up but to maintain. It is my first line of red alert for possible drug interaction issues and in recognising side effects. I was prepared to give this app five stars before the update! Now it gets a 5+.

Great app
2012-03-30
Pocket Rx
I find it very handy to be able to see all of my medications in a convenient list. With my medical conditions, I am often asked to provide a current list of my medications. In addition, it's very helpful to see the side effects and any conflicts in my medications so that I am better informed when speaking with my doctors.
2012-02-05
PocketPharmacist
This is a very handy reference with good, useful information on drugs. The system for recording drugs taken could stand improvement to make it more user friendly, for instance by enabling groups of pills taken at common times(breakfast, supper, bedtime, etc.)
I am looking forward to future evolution of what has already made a great start.

I work in Social Services and this program is excellent pocketnreference.
Priced rigjt too. Thanks.

Chiropractor
This app is very incomplete. It is missing a lot of the common drugs including contraceptives as well as common vitamins and minerals. I am a drugless practitioner, however searching some of these medications helps me determine if there are any possible side effects or interactions owing to there presenting complaint. I definitely expected something a bit more comprehensive.
2011-12-26
Waste of Money!
Very incomplete. For those in medical, this app is useless.

It's an awesome handy extra reference!
