Pillboxer for iPhone - personal medication log

Posted: 13 Jun 2009 06:06 PM PDT


Pillboxer brings a virtual pillbox, with a database of some 11,000 FDA approved medications for easy data entry, to the iPhone and iPod Touch.

Key Features
  • Mobile, digital medication list
  • Quick data entry from built in database
  • Pill identification photos (Nice!)
  • Medication compliance log
The only "missing feature" is a truly functional medication reminder alert. The medication reminder alert only functions if Pillboxer is active due to restrictions on application behavior on the iPhone.

Pillboxer is available from the Appstore.

Lexi-Drugs & Lexi-Interact for the iPhone

Posted: 13 Jun 2009 04:16 PM PDT


Lexicomp has released an iPhone/iPod Touch version of the well known Lexi-Drugs and Lexi-Interact pharmacology references. As always, the LexiComp products provide highly detailed and comprehensive information about drugs and drug interactions. The format is easy to use, and great for any pharmacist or other health care practioner who wants a comprehensive point of care pharmacology reference.

Price is the only drawback at $119.99 per user.
