Easy to use, quick unambiguous answers are available. As of this month, it is no longer offered to clinicians like myself outside the UK. I had to entirely readapt my practice to accommodate losing this invaluable resource. LexiTox, POISINDEX, etc. are useless in comparison, and infinitely more expensive. -- In a crisis I want to know two things: 1. Is the patient about to deteriorate?; 2. What treatments should be rendered. TOXBASE answers in seconds, whereas there is sometimes over a hundred pages of information from other sources. Very sad to see it is no longer available.

Very good Medical app, works very well in iPhone. However in iPad it freezes on TOXBASE page, and didn't open beyond. It gives me big trouble after deleting it from iPad, but still found icon with open in updates and in the setting still present, and when I press it the side-by side page is white blank. Before deleting this bad app in iPad it freezes the iPad, which let me to reset my iPad but this icon in the update page still containing open, although I delete it from iPad. Will you please solve this terrible problem. Thank. Crashed in iOS 10, in the latest update on Oct 26, 2016

Huge repository of information. Unfortunately, ponderous to browse through and difficult to find quick answers on the fly. Content seems like it was drawn from a website and not optimally modified for a mobile platform. Would benefit from editing and restructured user interface.
