Iodine A New Website For Drug Information



www.iodine.com is a new concept website, I read about this web site and the founding company in INC Magazine, October 2015 issue. It is a start up, but it looks like a winner to me. 

It allows a person (after sign up) to participate and share their experience with various drugs they might be taking. It organizes the experience by age and gender.  I signed up and have posted reviews of my two drugs already.  As more people review, the site will be more valuable.  Even for non-registered persons, it shows warnings, and side effects of most all drugs, and what explains what each is used for, even if there are no user reviews yet. The founder hopes this concept will spread real user information to potential users (or present users) of each drug, so they can benefit from hearing of other person’s side effects, general effectiveness, or warnings.  This will add to what they might have learned from their prescribing MD. The company is also building a mobile APP that might bring an even higher level of information and service to users.
