Install "100 Drugs" as an App

As an authorized user of the digital version of "100 Drugs", you can use both the web version and the app. Both have their advantages:

- If you install the app, you will see a standalone program on your desktop or on the home screen of your mobile device. You no longer need to log in after the initial installation, nor do you need to open an actual browser window. The app is self-contained and it is not integrated with the rest of the website. As such it is much easier to navigate within "100 Drugs"!

- The web version is primarily suitable for desktop and laptop devices and can be accessed with any browser. Since this version is located within the Infomed website, a login is required and full-text searches for all other content on the website is always available to you as well.

The app is built on progressive web app (PWA) technology and is installed on your devices directly from our website (you don't have to go looking for it in the App Store or Google Play). You can install the app on different devices, both on your mobile and your computer. The starting point in each case is your browser:
