Welcome back 😊 Thank you, Emdex This is actually the best medical app for everyone. And very useful to us as medical students, pharmacists to be precise—where I belong. You deserve more than five stars 💓🤩 But still work on updating some drugs. I wanted to study the interaction and why it's not advisable to take nitroglycerin when on sildenafil. Unfortunately, I couldn't find nitroglycerin. and I'm sure if I continue I'll notice absence of so many drugs that I can easily find in medscape app
