Another drug reference application for the BlackBerry

I've written about this in the past, but since I get so many questions regarding the BlackBerry, I thought I'd point this out again. Here's another drug reference application for the BlackBerry: Mobile MPR (Monthly Prescribing Reference)

Currently, they have this available for:

• BlackBerry OS 4.1 or higher
  
• Windows Mobile/ Pocket PC
  
• Palm OS
  

What's missing? Apple iPhone, Google Android, and webOS for the Palm Pre.

This application will only take 3-5 MB of space, so to download it and try it out, visit: http://www.empr.com/

MPR: Monthly Prescribing Reference

Looking for some free medical software for your PDA or smartphone? Take a look at MPR: Monthly Prescribing Reference. You probably get these in the mail all the time. Now, you can get the digital version (eMPR) for free. They currently have software for Palm OS, Windows Mobile, and BlackBerry. They don't have software for the Apple iPhone yet, but it sounds like they're working on it. The software developer is USBMIS.

Here's a short blurb from their website: "Download the MPR Mobile & Desktop Edition for free access to over 4,000 up-to-date, concise drug monographs on your computer or mobile device."
