TechTool review of LactMed by National Library of Medicine on iOS and Android
Website: – iTunes - Android - Website
LactMed provides information about the side effects of medicines when breastfeeding. It is part of the National Library of Medicine’s Toxicology Data Network. The user searches for the drug they are prescribing and detailed results come back from the database about potential adverse effects.
Design and User Interface
It would be fair to say the design is pretty boring. But then it is just a drug toxicity database, so the need to jazz that up is questionable. The UI is certainly clear. There is no confusion about how to use the app and everything works exactly as it’s supposed to.
