Pocket Pharmacist

I was looking for free study apps for the ptcb exam, unfortunately there’s scarce resources available like that

Retired RN, IV nurse. Aside from a PDR, this app has always been up to date. It cross references, has risks with pregnancy ( not new PLLR) buts it’s too good not to consider this one. I get nothing from writing this. A question, a quick response. Thank you

I’ve had this a few years now. It’s my default pharmacy app. I’m RN, have done many things, mostly IV nurse , OR. Ready to retire, I use this for myself, other family members. The Pharmacists editing, writing, do it at a level o e can learn/understand. They do include a link to FDA, NLM. Highly recommend this one to anyone, especially nurses. A question, it’s answered sooner than a few days. Thank you

Is this some kind of joke. You cant take care of patients with this app. It gives you hardly any info about the drug. Im a physician and you cant be using this app.

It would be much more precise if it gave a description of what this drug is specifically for and what it will do to the bacterial infection. The definition given is too vague.

Fast, very helpful. I like how you can search drugs via indications. I would recommend.

I started using this when it was free. By now, I am a senior citizen taking a plethora of drugs. Half are prescribed while the other half are supplements or “hacks”. This app is a handy tool particularly if you’re visiting a new specialist or you’re tweaking a drug that you still take. That’s when the “past” drug list comes in real handy. I do wish there was an easy way to transfer medication data to a family member’s phone. I almost have my hubby convinced that the app is more helpful compared to the paper list he keeps in his wallet. It does take some time to set up, IMO.

This is full of information. I know it is updated regularly. I have sent questions, and received a timely response. This is a great one for Registered Nurses. I have had a while now. This is a top of the list if one understands medications and/or is interested. Thank you; Robert Martin RN

Since my stroke, I have a vast number of medications prescribed by doctors. This app has helped me be an informed partner in my health care. It often provides the basis for discussion with my physician -- particularly when prescribing new medications or when I have concerns about side effects. As others have mentioned, there are plans to change to a subscription model in the future.I believe this fair because this app functions as a pharmacist that you can consult at any time. Medications and information about them is always changing.

This issue has not been resolved —> Resolved an issue that could inappropriately delay the presentation of the subscription screen on first app launch
