Herbal RX
A clinical edition in development and testing. Current builds contain a 316-entry catalog and render structured safety, pregnancy, perioperative, interaction, indication, pharmacology and patient fields. It is not released yet.
Who it's for
A practitioner who is already being asked "can I take this with my warfarin?" and needs an answer they can defend — not a summary. The comparison it has to survive is Epocrates+ and Tarascon, not consumer supplement apps.
Contraindications kept apart
Absolute contraindications and relative cautions are separate fields and separate cards rather than one undifferentiated warning paragraph.
Pregnancy and lactation separated
Each gets its own assessment, including an explicit not-established state where the corpus cannot support an answer.
Perioperative guidance
Where the corpus supplies it, the app renders the stop interval and its mechanism together, or says that no evidence-based interval is established.
Structured interactions
Interaction rows can carry severity, evidence level, mechanism and management, while a separate medication-class lookup states its limits when no match is found.
Field-linked sources
Rendered clinical cards show citations where the corpus supplies them. Citation coverage and identifier verification are still release blockers; the current build does not claim a citation on every sentence.
Plain-language patient section
Patient-facing summaries, what to expect, red flags and do-not-use warnings render in the app. Print/PDF handouts are not implemented yet.
Local practitioner notes
Save herbs and add your own per-herb notes. They stay in local app storage and can be exported manually as JSON or CSV.
Still being tested
The feature set, content and practitioner workflows are still being tested and refined before a public release.
Explicit answers, not blanks
A core rule of the structured reference.
A required field is either populated or explicitly marked not-established, and the corpus build rejects a monograph when a required field is missing. Optional fields can still be absent. Not-established is an answer; blank in a required safety field is not.
This behavior and the underlying content are still being tested. Nothing on this page should be read as a release announcement.
