Introduction
The
MedicineNet's Pocket Guide to
Common Medications
gives quick and convenient access to important
information on common medications
to mobile users.
Each monograph
is written in lay yet informational language to
provide helpful insights for
patients taking medications. Combined with the hand-
made selection of
medications, its compact size, ease of use and
affordable price this results in
a must-have product for wide range of users, from
patients to parents to even
students.
Features
The Guide is a doctor-produced
informational database of 400+ monographs covering
over 1,000 generic and
branded names of the most popular U.S.
medications.
With just a few taps on
the screen of a PDA, users can perform keyword
searches to quickly view drug
information written and edited by MedicineNet's
pharmacists and physicians.
Topics covered in each drug monograph include:
Generic name
Brand name
Drug class and mechanism
Preparations
Storage
Prescribed for
Dosing
Drug interactions
Pregnancy and nursing mothers
Side effect
Requirements
The full application requires at least 700 kB of
free memory in order to
operate normally. It provides complete support
for expansion cards, meaning that parts or the whole
application
can be installed on and operate normally from an
expansion card.
Generally, the
drug reference guide is
available on any platform that BDicty Dictionary
Reader supports and the general
product requirements are the ones that BDicty
Dictionary presents.
Package
contents
The product is brought
to you in joined effort
between MedicineNet and
Beiks, two leading
companies in the fields of
medical reference content and mobile reference
applications respectively.
It consists of
two parts: the
MedicineNet's Common Medications database itself and
Beiks' BDicty dictionary
application, a common platform for mobile reference
content.
Each of those two components can be available
separately and/or updated
separately over the life of the product and you may
want to periodically check
for upgrades with the vendor of your choice.
