Drugs.com Medication Guide Reviews

by Grey.FL

All I really wanted was a simple, convenient prescription list to take with me to doctor appointments. Nothing more. Nothing less.
I wondered why I needed to register just to access the list but gave it a shot. The registration process includes one of those ‘Im not a robot’ things...”check all pictures with cars...” No exaggeration, I spent nearly 1/2 hour going through this. Every time I finished one, another popped up, easily a dozen until finally saw a “skip” button, and finally “Thank you for....”
So, clicked on Drug list..... then, “Enter a Profile” Come On Already!
So, I now I have my Drug List. Love it! Put in several drugs, it not only makes a nice list with dosages you can take to your doctors but it automatically detects interactions between your drugs.
I’ve only had this for a couple of hours so once I get into it a little more, maybe I’ll come back with a better review. What I’ve seen so far, DrugscomMedicationGuide is great, but seriously, the registration process is a pain! I nearly gave up.

With the oh so many things going on in the drug industry and the greed of the cheap manufacturers I find it hard to remember what each round white tablet is and I know exactly where to go and what to do. I was a first responder on 9/11 and have Congestive Heart Failure and BIG Pulmonary issues, the skinny me started to work out for pain control issues, not wanting any narcotics at all and my field I always required a fair degree of knowledge about drugs and the drug industry which was once quite a challenge before I found this incredible app. As my life changed it is I who am now always reliant and in need of as much knowledge as I can find although for myself as a priority,
I can always rely on what is provided here by searching for my needs as I sadly cannot rely upon my facilitating MD’s, but I can rely on the information I get here and always check which might not interact well or is contraindicated for me as most MDs dont bother. Thank you For it ALL over the years, it has saved lives before, and now I can include my own, and that is quite a lot to say about what I can get here!

Sad to say, I have to take a lot of medicine, and it can be confusing about what I'm taking and what I tried before.

DrugscomMedicationGuide allows me to enter my medicines, keep track of medicine I've been given before, and drug interaction information. I can easily export my drug information into a PDF to print, or email my list to my doctor. Doctors have told me this list helps them in helping me. They have a full list of all my drugs, and know what worked and what didn't.

I highly recommend DrugscomMedicationGuide if you need to keep track of your medication and conditions.

Everyone in your family can chart their meds, dosages, health status, & more. Any contraindications are immediately displayed. Your emergency contacts and doctors can also be stored. In an emergency seconds count and in my opinion DrugscomMedicationGuide can save your life. My two suggestions would be to forgo the password and opt for keeping logged in. With your app prominently on your phone it’s literally 1 tap and your in. DrugscomMedicationGuide is essential to us seniors.

by No Name For It

DrugscomMedicationGuide has helped me realize not to take certain medications together, learn about the side effects more than what the hand outs show and give us a place to list ours to keep track of doses and interactions with a big red stop in place if there is any reason they have interaction trouble. Thank you for all the different parts, especially the pill identifier since I don’t see as well and drop my pills now so I know which bottle they go back into.

I start my day @ 5:00 with 5 meds, 10:30 18 meds, 5:00 7 meds, 6:00 1 med, 8:30 2 meds, 10:30 1 med. Did you keep up? 34. This doesn’t count PRN medications like Albuterol for a nebulizer treatment or an inhaler for asthma attack. I’m on a new special chemo treatment pill. DrugscomMedicationGuide is totally current with it! The interactions with ALL those meds above! AND I don’t use it, but it will print your meds on a wallet size printout, yes even all mine. It will tell you what name and about the pill by it’s color, shape, numbers/letters on it! Even more things! Not just for you, but your whole family! You can set up separate medication lists for everyone. It is amazing! I don’t write reviews for anything. The fact I’m writing for DrugscomMedicationGuide and going on this long about it, tells you how awesome it truly is! There are more things, just check it out.

Live DrugscomMedicationGuide. As a nurse I always hated getting my drug book out to check a Med. Also, when I volunteered at a medical clinic and patients would come in with U labeled pills, it was very easy to look up the drug. I think everyone should have DrugscomMedicationGuide.
Now the only problem is with this review. Every nickname is taken. No way some I’ve tried could be taken. WHY do we have to have a nickname? No way! I just tried e no one else could possibly have!!! I even spelled my name backward and it states it’s already taken. Impossible.

I take several meds and I love being able to have a comprehensive Med list. I’m also a nurse and all my friends know I can give them information or identify meds they may have found on the floor. One of my good friends, some times gets confused when she fills her weekly Med reminders. We go through them over the phone, so she knows she’s getting all the right ones. Since mine is a professional membership, I get a lot of calls about possible side effects.

by RoseGarden2010

This is an amazing app for tracking medications, especially if, like me, you take a bundle. With any new Rx, I enter it into DrugscomMedicationGuide before I start my first dose to check for interactions with my other meds and for side effects. Also, I have a record of past and present meds, wherever I go. And the pill identifier has proved invaluable. Sometimes the pharmacy will change the manufacturer without telling me and I always look it up with the pill identifier to make sure it’s the same thing I’ve been taking.

DrugscomMedicationGuide saved me. I had two medications that interacted badly with each other, even though the pharmacist told me that they were safe to take together. After waking up in the middle of the night still feeling awful, I remembered DrugscomMedicationGuide and decided to look up the medications myself and realized that I was having a serious condition called serotonin syndrome. I went to the emergency room as DrugscomMedicationGuide advised. I was lucky to have DrugscomMedicationGuide to advise me because the medications were listed as ”major drug interaction” unlike the information the pharmacist told me. Thanks for saving my life!

This little app does it all. Got a strange pill rolling around on the floor of your vehicle but you don’t know what it is? DrugscomMedicationGuide will tell you. Got a medication and you want to know its side effects? DrugscomMedicationGuide will tell you what they are. And those are only two of the many things this little unobtrusive app will help you with. It’s a nice place to get information that you may have forgotten to ask your doctor about. Get it and you’ll be happy you did. I know I am!

by Dannmill

No more paperback medical books to log around. I have found DrugscomMedicationGuide to be quite useful for personal use and as a quick reference guide while at work. From DrugscomMedicationGuide, I have gained a vast amount of information concerning updates on medical advancements, new drugs & drug interactions, recalls on medications that either I or a family member may be taking, and a host of articles that are pertinent to everyday life. I would recommend DrugscomMedicationGuide as a ‘reference guide’ for those who are in need. But remember, DrugscomMedicationGuide is not a substitute for medical advice. Good luck.

by Gldd

can count! I use DrugscomMedicationGuide when I sense that a new med might be reacting badly with my other ones. I also use it when I go to a doctors office and am asked about my meds. I can either hand them my phone, or print out a small version for them to attach to my records. And like everyone else, I find it an invaluable tool for identifying the odd pill I find on the floor and deciding what to do with it. Without DrugscomMedicationGuide I would have a much more difficult time keeping track of my meds and their interactions.

by Randy Alexander

My wife found this little gem after trying a few other apps to track her meds. I love that I can just hand my phone to the nurse and they can verify my meds list against theirs. My cardiologist’s millennial nurse was thrilled by it. “I always have my phone with me”. Super easy to enter your meds and see potential interactions. I pointed out an interaction to my doc and consequently she changed when I took one to minimize the interaction.
Lots of info about the meds available from it if you choose.
I couldn’t be more pleased.

Of course, I use DrugscomMedicationGuide for learning about symptoms, available drugs and dosing, and contraindications. But my most - used part is the Pill Finder.

Most of my Rx drugs and my wife’s are generic, the three different “pill stampers” may use the same color and same size and same shape for three different drugs. So when my wife says, One of us must have dropped this. What is it?

I never guess! I get some reading glasses to clearly read the stampings on the tablet, and go to PillFinder.

You’re asking, you use pills you find on the floor? Never in a hospital, but here at home, after paying $1 to $7 a tablet on a retirement income — you bet your boots we use them after being absolutely certain what the are, and putting them back in the correct bottle from the drug store. When it affects what’s left over for food, you would make the same choice. We toss out any that end up in something wet or particularly disgusting, but the rest just get wiped off by a clean white cloth and put back in the original bottle.

DrugscomMedicationGuide is Fantastic!! It's always my go to App when I'm in need of any information about prescription and over the counter medication. I have never used DrugscomMedicationGuide and not received the information I was in need of. I just love that I don't have to spend time searching the web for answers to my medication questions. The ability to print out my own medication list has been a huge help to me due to going to many different Doctors and I don't have to spend time writing them all out in the very small space on the Doctor form. I have recommended DrugscomMedicationGuide to numerous people because it's that Awesome!!!!!
Thank You, Redluna999

Any time you visit a physician one of the first thing they ask is for a list of the meds you are taking. DrugscomMedicationGuide provides a complete list with correct spelling, dosage and frequency that you can print and hand to them. I printed the wallet size version for both myself and my dear wife to carry with me as a hard copy in my wallet which they can make a copy of. Also having your list on your phone in digital format makes it easy to update and share that way. DrugscomMedicationGuide is a truly a lifesaver and provides complete, accurate information to health care professionals in emergencies.

I take 2 medications which are visually identical to my 67 year old eyes. They are tiny, white and the same shape. Without DrugscomMedicationGuide, I would not be able to identify them. As far as I can tell they could be the same. However, DrugscomMedicationGuide reminds me frequently which is which because what is barely visible on their tiny surfaces, defines what medication they are. One is a blood pressure medication and the other is an antihistamine and acid reducer. I love DrugscomMedicationGuide if fir only that. However, I use it all the time to clearly explain what my meds are, how to take them and what they will do for me and also to me, as in potential side effects.

by Kstippes

DrugscomMedicationGuide has been very helpful to me for several years in managing my medications. It is extremely user-friendly, well-organized and packed with useful information for those of us that have more than a passing interest in what we put into our bodies. Although most of the information here is probably available in piecemeal fashion from other apps or websites, I am unaware of any other source of so much helpful drug-related information that can be accessed all in one place.

Perhaps my favorite aspect of DrugscomMedicationGuide is the section that offers both individual and collective reviews of how helpful (or unhelpful) each drug has been for its users. One can also check drug reviews by the condition they were prescribed to treat. All in all, an extremely useful resource!

by TCnCsMom

DrugscomMedicationGuide is a wealth of information and has everything you need plus all the important and fascinating stuff you forgot to ask or were just to embarrassed to bring up. The layout of DrugscomMedicationGuide makes it straight forward and easy to navigate. I think one of the best things about DrugscomMedicationGuide is that the breakdown and language used within it makes it ideal for everyone, from the everyday average user with a basic med question to the medical professional needing dosing recommendations and links to other trusted medical resources. Overall, just a really great, user friendly app.

by Lmtc1953

As I am getting older and seem to be steadily increasing the variety of medications I take, it’s wonderful to have an app that keeps track of my drugs and also let me know if there are any interactions that I need to be aware of. As a RN I’ve noticed that frequently a specialist may not be up on all the interactions that are outside their specialty. DrugscomMedicationGuide has brought this to light several times. Even the best Pharmacist doesn’t get to look at all your meds every time a new one is added. Congratulations on a great app!

by Lymer4life60

When you need to find the best full information on side effects! DrugscomMedicationGuide is great for it. Before I had to look around and check many sites for truly detailed information. This is a one stop source. Also if you put your meds in a weekly container and spill them like most of have once in awhile. They have a great section for pill identifier! One App I cannot live without

by Kimberak70

I take several medications and so does my husband. I have lupus and several other conditions. All my meds are right here, and i also have my husbands in another profile. We have it on both of our phones.
I had to be taken to the hospital by ambulance recently and was kind of out of it. The emt asked for my med list and my daughter knew to get it from DrugscomMedicationGuide . The emt said it was a great resource and would definitely be recommending it to future patients.

by Monteleto

Definitely excellent resource for me and my family, from keeping medication list for doctors which is helpful, to checking out drug interactions within your medications, this is a one stop shop! I love it! I’m not sure about being able to pull up information offline or not, but you can still print and make wallet size list of medications! It has definitely saved me several times and has made me question my doctors on drug interactions! Thank You!

by FormerCustomer

I’m on several meds. DrugscomMedicationGuide makes it so much easier to research new meds and check for interactions. Most interaction checkers only let you put in two drugs at a time. If you are on 6-8 meds and debating which new drug to add, that would take forever. App lets me input everything and checks all my interactions. The side effect information seems detailed and accurate. I wish it had a drug pricing and coupon thing like Goodrx has. Then DrugscomMedicationGuide would have it all.

by Happy With Chase

What can I say. It gives me the confidence and understanding regarding drug interactions, side effects and the latest FDA notices regarding any medication a doctor prescribes. With all the “big pharma” money making drugs on the market today my trust level has grown low, so I do my own research before I take or combine any new and/or existing meds. As many of their ads state during the quick ending comments, they could kill you or cause you serious harm, one needs to do their own homework. :)

by Turleyhill

At 74 yrs of youth, I take 6 meds in the AM and 3 at night. ANYONE who is taking more than one medication should have DrugscomMedicationGuide at their disposal... PERIOD! As I have type || diabetes, high blood pressure and cholesterol issues, my meds have changed periodically. A change in Doctors has altered my meds. DrugscomMedicationGuide has allowed me to be certain that there are no negative interactions between the meds I am prescribed. Don’t have it downloaded yet. GET IT NOW!
