When I first complained about the issues I faced, with not seeing the informations of the drugs I search, to their email with my sign in info, they called me immediately and walked me through to get it fixed. The app is very good and their customer service is the main reason I give this fiver star review. Thank you Emdex. Now prescription would be better for me.

The app works wonderfully good. It's a good friend of the medics and a perfect replacement of the voluminous pharmacological books, though not without hitches in some therapeutic notes.
