If you have a GetItNow-capable cell phone from Verizon Wireless, you can get a new Pill Phone application. Get information on almost 2000 medications including side effects as well as refill reminders. Great service for when you're traveling. Read more about the new Pill Phone here:

Wow that is an awsome feature. Technology has improved so drastically over the last several years.

Awesome, I don't know if this will increase the sales of GetItNow-capable cell phones. But it is really a great achievement and I am sure will assist in decisions being made concerning medications.

Cool. I never heard of this until today. Seems like it would be ideal for seniors who are on a lot of medications. But how many seniors do you know who have cell phones?

That's what I'm wondering, Melanie. Those that are tech-savvy could just as easily hop on the internet to look up various medications. I guess the only time where this phone would really work out well is while in the doctor's office when he/she is prescribing or discussing various medicines to try.

That's pretty cool. I guess it makes the world a safer place since you will be able to research pills on the go. :)

It's a great idea especially if you don't have access to a computer. We should be able to find out all kinds of information about the medications we take.

I know there's a similar application for Palm phones, but I wonder if the other cell companies are going to do the same.
