Good User Review: "Very handy to have on my phone. It's easy to use and provides clear and understandable information. I like the drug interactions checker, especially when my [physician] prescribes something new. Just reading through side effects sometimes gives me a question to ask my [physician] and/or pharmacist. I highly recommend this app.” — Peggy Summers on Google Play
