New individual users will receive a one month free trial to UpToDate Lexidrug Hospital Pharmacist Package. At the end of the free trial, users will automatically be billed $29.99 per month via their iTunes Account for continuing access. To avoid being charged, users must cancel their free trial at least 24 hours before the end of the trial period. Users can manage settings, cancel subscriptions, or turn off auto-renewal anytime during the subscription period via iTunes Account Settings. Any unused portion of a free trial period, if offered, will be forfeited when the user purchases a subscription to that publication, where applicable.

  • Worst app I’ve downloaded

    By Glaudens
    What is going on? I am logged in on my institutional account and cannot do anything. I said yes to download all datasets, but it shows none in my library, and I cannot do a search because I haven’t selected a dataset. I can’t select one if they won’t download. I’ll definitely be saying something to my dental hygiene director and asking if they will consider an alternative resource that has an app that actually works. For the money we pay for an institutional subscription, this is not good at all. Regular UTD app works just fine, btw.
  • Bad charges

    I downloaded this and decided I didn’t want it and backed out of it. I haven’t even signed onto the account yet and I just got charged three different payments all different amounts at three different times. It makes no sense to me.
  • Databases (fixed)

    They fixed database sorting issue, it really is a good app. I’ve been using it for over 10 years. Has saved me numerous times!
  • Every New Version is Less Functional

    Twelve years ago it was excellent. Now I would hesitate a lot to purchase it for my own practice if I didn’t have access through my hospital. Every big update makes it worse, and I have to say it feels like they are truly looking for what else to ruin. No, I don’t want to navigate through 5 menus EVERY TIME I go in to call up a drug. Most of what I have to wade through has never once been useful, or rarely at best. The app is unstable and crashes fairly frequently. The most recent surprise was that it suddenly decided to lock me out of the app in the middle of looking something up, and for absolutely no reason. I am still in the process of trying to recover my access, and had to delete everything to see if a fresh download would help. Having the drug reference is absolutely vital to doing my job, but the implementation is getting more disappointing as time goes by.
  • Used to be an the leader of the pack

    I’ve used LexiComp since 2004 on Palm and Windows Mobile. It had solid performance up until about 3 years ago on iPhone and iPad. As many others have mentioned, you cannot lock your databases in place. The drug ID seems to miss a lot. In all honesty, it sounds like they have a developer issue. Also, I don’t like that you can’t house or update content anymore. It says that it downloads datasets automatically, yet I always get ‘updated content’ anytime I click on a drug. If I’m on a flight or don’t have service, it’d be nice to update before I go like it used to be. Epocrates and drugs.com have better app performance. Wish they’d have more stability like they used to.
  • Sorting the library

    3
    By Conner87737
    Currently unable to sort library databases. When editing to change the order (such as making Lexi-drugs the first database) the settings immediately revert to the default after pressing “done.” Pleeeeeeasssse fix! The app is much more convenient when search results appear in order of relevancy. Otherwise love the app
  • need to be able to lock search preferences

    By b-tils
    In the past, when I would search a drug, it would show the drug monograph or pediatric drug monograph at the top of the search. now my search is littered with adverse reactions, toxicology and pharmacogenomics entries. This can be useful information to have when I want a deep dive, but not when I’m taking care of a patient and want to quickly confirm drug dosing. You can select the resource you want to search, but it defaults to “all library” and resets when you close the app. Please please please provide a way to lock the app onto the users preferred database, not just “all library”. Thanks.
  • Database Organization

    I can no longer sort my databases. As soon as I move Lexi Drugs to the top it immediately moves back down to where it originated. Happens on both iPhone and iPad. Please fix/update
  • Can’t sort databases

    By kingofhilo19
    There is a bug where I can’t sort the databases. It allows me to move them around but then they instantly go back to how they were
  • Databases “expired” as soon as I got charged my subscription

    By yikeszzzz
    As soon as I got charged for my monthly subscription the app stopped working. I tried deleting and redownloading and the databases say they’re expired. I got charged and now I can’t use this at work. Also it’s definitely not as user friendly as I’d like it to be for quick patient questions. I paid for nothing.
