Useful, Rich and Easy to Use Resource

This is a great reference of not just drugs but also medical devices, borderline substances and wound care.

The information is presented in clear, colourful ways that makes it easy to read and quick to find. There a some great extra features too such as the custom-built drug interaction section e.g. You can select more than one drug to check compatibility rather than just scrolling through a massive list of one selected drug.

Overall a very useful, well laid out and extensive medical resource.

Few issues

Love using this app as a pharmacist, but a few issues which hopefully the creators will take on board. Firstly the side effects have now been changed into paragraph form, thus making it harder to pick out side effects at a glance. The list form was so much better. Secondly the medicinal forms have been greatly reduced and can no longer see items which are usually a P Med as only POM meds are listed now. Also if a drop down option was included in the medicinal forms section for Tablets, capsule etc making it easier to navigate and lastly the text has changed to a lighter shade making it harder to see. Hopefully these comments are taken on board. Many thanks

Love it!

As a pharmacist I am using the app on everyday basis and I cannot complain. Would be great on top of current content get a little bit of inspiration from apps made by Mediately which provide more tools and also look at American Medscape. Also any correlation with NICE guidelines or some interesting articles, would be nice to have everything integrated and merged within one app. But as said. Compared to paper BNF this works faster and is much more practical to use.
