Drug Diary app review: record your medications
Introduction
If you take a lot of different medications and want to compile a concise record of your dosages and other relevant information then you’ll definitely want to consider downloading Drug Diary onto your iPhone and iPad.
The best pharmacy apps for iPhone-2021Upon first glance this appeared to be one of the simpler drug tracking apps that I’ve come across in the Medical and Health & Fitness categories of the App Store, but after skimming over some of the logging features I must say that I’m actually quite impressed with the amount of detail and thoroughness achieved by the developer.
Record Your Medications
This app is ideal for creating a detailed ongoing record of all the medications you are using, and one thing I really like about it is that after removing drugs from your medication list they will remain in your personal history for future reference.

You can easily search the database in Drug Diary, and predictive typing enables you to find your medications with just a few quick taps and minimal typing, so this should definitely save your thumbs a lot of unnecessary work!
This app even allows you to create reports of your medications to varying levels of detail, before exporting them via email in .PDF file format, so this should come in very handy when sending requested information to your doctor.
