  1. [R12] Davis Drug Guide For Nurses 3/5 · US They need and update: It’s quick and convenient but they need an update. Too many errors and wrong information. For example I go check for Furrous Sulfate and the class is Antiemtic ???it’s suppose to be Blood former/Coagulator

  3. [R62] Davis's Drug Guide 5/5 · US Great Guide!: I remember when these guides were in a ginormous textbook. This guide is convenient and has colorful pix. The best part is the Pronunciation Guide! With the glut of medications, it great to hear the precise pronunciation. The Calculator section is very handy too.
  4. [R63] Davis's Drug Guide 3/5 · US Update Needed: Updates needed more often! Looked up a medication today and it wasn’t listed! Had to use Google instead!

  9. [R19] Davis Drug Guide For Nurses 1/5 · US Unable to access: I have had this app for several months and only been able to access twice. I am a hospital nurse and was looking forward to having more info than our hospital site gives. The 2 times I got on it was great.

  11. [R64] Davis's Drug Guide 1/5 · US Poor business practices: This app was useful as a student, but I now get a superior drug guide for free through my workplace. However, there is no way to cancel this subscription. Please beware that if you subscribe to this app you are locked in for life. Better off with the hard copy of the book
  12. [R69] Davis's Drug Guide 3/5 · US Aggravated: This is the second year that I've purchased this, and I continue to find medication's that this source has no record of. Dissatisfied.

  17. [R37] Davis Drug Guide For Nurses 1/5 · US Anyone else totally unable to use the app to sign in?: It allows me to get a subscription on the app but doesn’t allow me to log in when I already have a subscription. This has been happening for over a year for me, rendering it absolutely unusable.
