I enter every new drug, including vitamins, minerals and supplements that I take. The app gives interactions between drugs, food and alcohol. It helps me keep track of current medications and offers a handy printout feature. I use the app when I go to Dr. appointments to update records. I also use it to research meds. This is one of the most useful apps I have.

Still use it and love it after 2 years! I wish I found this sooner. Absolutely love the ability to print off a list of meds, allergies and conditions. I use the detail section to record Doctors who prescribed and date and detail of reaction. I have used another one but would not allow for printing and Doctor offices don't have time for you to pull open your phone and app. I can just hand them the list. There is also a section for notes where you can add in surgeries and procedures. Love it!

I love this app! I take a lot of medications for my health issues. When my doctor puts me on a new medication, I always come here to the interaction checker to see if it interacts with any of my meds. You can also keep your medication list on the app, there are a lot of benefits to doing this. There is a pill identifier, which has come in handy at times. Plus anytime there's a recall they will email you right away to let you know. This is a great app and I definitely recommend it to ANYONE who has a chronic medical condition or takes medications on a regular basis.
