CDC Opioid Guideline for Android
Hello! As a student I found this app very helpful, However I would recommend if possible to add an option to change dosage forms such as liquids. Furthermore, the dose of some drug such as Percocet will be limited due to the acetaminophen before titrating up to a 90MME
Mostly very weak data used in making this, is skewed by conflicts of interests with addiction rehab insiders to increase their businesses not to help patients. Doctors all over America are abandoning patients and closing practices due to the threats of the cdc and dea. Hundreds kill themselves every week due directly to these so valled guidlines but are really prohibition laws to be followed or you lose your medical license.
It closes everytime you touch the screen and you have to keep pulling it back up, some serious bugs in this app
Does not make adjustment for patient weight.
Doesn't have intrathecally administered drugs.
The calculator is easy enough, but Tramadol is not on the list at all.

Definitely room for improvement. Not all of the formularies and preparations are shown, including extended release and IV. I know that IV preps are not really used for chronic pain, but these would be useful for any clinician in the hospital setting or for those with patients who were recently hospitalized. It would also be very helpful to include conversion calculations. I noticed there is a disclaimer for cross- tolerance and we would need to adjust accordingly but this would still be very useful to have.
