Offensive descriptors

I am really disappointed in this company. I was looking up a medication and under warnings it says “less effective in blacks”. Really?! That’s how you are going to word it Medscape? I find it highly inappropriate, offensive and they need to do better.

Videos pop up randomly

This app is now useless with the update. I shouldn’t have updated. Now I have random video commercials pop up while I’m reading at work. Great. I’m working in the ED and use this as a quick resource and now have to jump through annoying videos. I will switch to PEPID

As an MS-3 on the cusp of wrapping up my third year, I have to say this was my GO TO reference source for clinical rotations. A lot of people will say resources like UpToDate and Epocrates are the gold standards, and while they are incredible, neither possesses the ease of use, scope of information, or clinical tools that this app has. I have a paid subscription to those other sources through my school, but this is essentially the only reference I use and it’s completely free for anyone. I would 100% recommend this app to anyone and you better believe I won’t be without it next year, as a resident, or as an attending.
Once great, now mediocre

There has been a steady decline in the quality of this app. Once a stellar resource for medications it is now riddled with problems. Frequently unresponsive with occasional crashes it also takes a long time to load and actually use. There is also the relatively new issue of ads in the last 1-2 years. While the content remains good regarding its pharmacopoeia, the app is unusable. Will shift to uptodate and DynaMed in its place.
Conflicting information?

In general, I like this as a drug reference, especially because I can look up supplements and OTCs as well as rx meds. However, I used it a couple days ago to check for any drug interactions between rivaroxaban and glucosamine/Chondroitin. The app reported no interactions found. Fast forward one day, and there is a published article on Medscape warning of drug interactions between prescription medications and OTC supplements. And what do you know, one of the examples is that glucosamine/Chondroitin taken with rivaroxaban increases risk of bleeding. There’s obviously disparity between what your app is reporting and what your published article on your website report says. It certainly doesn’t boost confidence in using your app to check for drug interactions with patients.
Long Time Invaluable Resource

After 15 years as a Mental Health Clinically Designated Interventionist I returned to 4 years of Nursing school. Now, 10 years later, my professional focus has shifted but not my ‘go to’ resource! Medscape has remained an invaluable resource for both maintaining CEU as well as cogent and valuable contemporary research articles. Research presentations are so well vetted that they can be shared with colleagues as well as patient/clients. Thanks Medscape for being a long term friend
