RxHero - Master Top 250 Drugs

I am currently in pharmacy school and finishing up my last year. I stumbled upon this app and have been playing it every day. This is a great refresher for people who need help with brand/generic or MOAs. Overall, I think it’s a great way to test your knowledge and learn a lot of drugs. I do wish that the app was updated more often, and it would tell you why you got a question wrong, but other than that the app works great. Have recommended it to multiple friends/classmates. Anyone who works in healthcare could benefit from this app, not just those who directly work with medication.

This is a poorly made app. Answer choices will randomly disappear and reappear when you move up and down on the screen. Thus sometime correct answers are not available because it is not showing all the answer choices. The app is functional but this issue makes it a very frustrating app.

I’ve been using the app for about a week to improve my drug class, MOA, brand, and generic recall. I love it! It’s fast paced enough to keep my ADHD satisfied and repetitive enough to drill the topics. I go through each section several times, looking up any drugs I don’t know along the way, then keep repeating until I’m confident and fast. Would recommend for anyone who needs to learn any of the above in a short period of time. (Hidden bonus is definitely the ADR’s)

I just installed this app today and went through all the organ system libraries. The app has a good foundation, but it would be nice if there was a screen following a question you got wrong or skipped that shows the answer along with more info about the drug. I know a solution is to look up the answer on the same or separate device, but it makes sense to just build it into the app. Another thing that would give me peace of mind is to know that the top 250 drugs included in this app is updated yearly PRN (lol), so I know I’m spending my time usefully. Overall, this app has great potential and I’m going to continue using it! I think the addition of the two features I suggested would make this app a must-have for pharmacy students.

I just finished my P1 year and I am excited to have found this app to help me do light review to get ahead. This app beats reading through my Top300 drug cards any day. I love how it is organized. Brand/generic questions are great, but what really sets this app apart are the questions that have you match the indication or counseling points. Best of all, it is enough like a game to not feel like studying! Thanks for the great resource.

It looks useful but I purchased it from my phone and only my phone is unlocked. I cannot use my ipad to play it.

I’m a P4 student studying for the NAPLEX and this app has helped tremendously. It may not go completely in depth on what we need to know for the test, but it’s a great review of brand/generic names, indications, side effects, black boxed warnings, counseling points, and indications. Cardio drugs are free, and you pay a one time fee to unlock the rest of the drugs. I highly recommend it.
