Latest reviews of MommyMeds app for iPhone and iPad
Im so excited about this app! Its a lot more user friendly for mothers than LactMed and I cant wait to use the barcode scanner. Thank you Dr. Hale!
Whenever I search for and click on a prescription drug, I get an error message that says "Application Error - undefined is not an object (evaluating a.trackEvent) at listmanager.js (line 1)." Was this app actually tested? Also the list of prescription drugs is missing a lot of common medications. I didnt test the OTC meds, but from what Ive seen so far this app is basically useless. Which is a shame because there is a need for an app like this.
I am only a floor nurse. This app makes me so excited!! No more searching for the answer I need in drug guides. No more calling pharmacy. No more calling the sweet ladies in OB! I can get those answers quickly, and all on my own now. Thanks Dr. Hale! Sincerely- A med/surg nurse :)
Lots of great info here!
Being pregnant for the first time is scary enough without having to worry about if your medicine is safe to take or not. I trust MommyMeds to give me the most recent information regarding the safety various medications. I love that MommyMeds is also customizable based on the trimester of pregnancy. By using this app I learned that Ibuprofen can cause birth defects if used during pregnancy but may be safe for use by a breastfeeding mother after the baby is born. This is invaluable information that all mothers need to have access to!
