Rx Note

Introduction In August 2018, I launched a self-initiated drug database project, called "RxLookup". My motivation stemmed from a lack of existing databases that met my daily workplace needs, combined with a desire for a more organized way to document my reading material. Furthermore, existing unofficial MOH Formulary mobile applications were infrequently updated and required users to pay a fee to remove advertisements.

Many advanced Android smartphones and iPhones now default to the HEIC format due to its highly efficient compression. This client-side compa...
