It is a pharmacy and medical app, perfect for pharmacy students, medical students, pharmacists, doctors, ACTs, dispensers, dentists and everyone working in the medical profession.

Useful tips for using app:

1. To turn volume up or down, firstly open app. Click on one of the flashcards and then increase or decrease the volume using the volume controls.

2. To find a drug, scroll down to the letter it begins with. Click on the letter to list all the drugs beginning with that letter. Find the drug of your choice and click on it. The generic name of the drug will be shown at the top of the flashcard. Tap card ONCE, to flip it over and reveal the brand name. Tap back and forth on each card to listen to the pronunciation of each word.

3. To find max strengths, click on a drug and the max strength will be clearly displayed at the bottom of the flashcard. If there is no max strength written, then this has not been clearly identified in the BNF and you must find this drug in the BNF and determine a max strength for yourself.

4. To find indications, cautions, contra-indications, side effects, click on a flashcard and tap ONCE to flip over. The information of each drug will be found on the brand name side of the flashcard.

5. All information in this app was, to the best of my knowledge, correct at time of print. However, before any medication etc should be allowed to leave a pharmacy environment or any other medical facility and given to a patient, a final clinical check with an up to date BNF and qualified pharmacist, must be performed every time.
