Description
Drugview is an online drug information search tool. It is a simple search page with options to choose from several free online formularies (some may require registration and login but they are free)
The advantage of Drugview is that it will allow one to quickly perform multiple searches from various formularies for the same drug.
The search results are presented in a Webview within the application rather than in the browser. This may facilitate automatically zooming in the text to a more legible size.
Notes on formularies:
For Drugs.mobi: The interface has been redone and the text info is formatted for the Pre. Links work and you can scroll from section to section
For Epocrates, you may encounter a "Disclaimer page" for the first access. Just tap the Agree button or scroll to the bottom and click on the Continue button and this page should go away. The search results for Epocrates initially shows the entire drug monograph. You can also navigate vie Section links which seem to be working now. Epocrates from time to time may ask you to login with your username and password. if it does not "stick" please navigate to http://online.epocrates.com with your browser and sign in.
For MIMS USA, you will be greeted by a login page for the first access. If you don't have an account just scroll down the page and hit the Register button, and create a free account. Don't forget to check the "remember me" box when you login.
Rote-liste.de is a German formulary. You have to login with your Doc Check account when you first search. After that it "remembers you" for the session but for subsequent sessions you may still have to click on the login button
Development notes
This app is currently being developed by Palmdoc and SirataXero with input by members of the PreCentral.net forums. Check out the official discussion thread (link below) for ongoing developments!
ChangeLog:
v 0.0.4 has the logo of the database/formulary displayed and some minor UI changes.
v 0.0.5 added a Help menu
0.0.6 Experimental version introduced. In this version, the UI for drugs.mobi has been redesigned (by SirataXero) and the text information is now formatted within the application rather than as a browser view and you get navigation bars as well as a horizontal scroll (you can flick sideways to the next section).
The auto-zoom for Epocrates online and MIMS USA has been improved. I have uploaded the experimental version 0.0.6 here for testing. If you want an older stable version 0.0.5 you can manually download it here (unzip and load it manually with WebOS Quickinstall; you have to delete 0.06 in your device first). If you are experiencing issues, please contact me (via the Help menu in the app)
