Description

Rx Vigilance - a reference tool for health care professionals that features information on drugs and health - can now be accessed from anywhere.

Access to the all application features is included for a period of one year. At the end of the year, part of the application is turned off (access to the drug monographs and profile analysis function). The travel information, natural products section and the phonebook section remains active forever. It can be renewed year after year through In-App Purchase.

After installation, THE APPLICATION RESIDES ENTIRELY ON THE DEVICE and does not require an Internet connection for regular use. Internet access is required for updates.

As a result, they are equipped to select what is most useful and relevant for you and your practice and to integrate that information to Rx Vigilance. In short, you will be able to access what you need quickly and effectively.
