Verizon Wireless Launches The Pill Phone

Verizon Wireless has launched The Pill Phone, a new Get It Now application that will provide its customers with detailed drug information and automatic dosing reminders on their phones.

With the Pill Phone’s Pill Lookup feature, Verizon Wireless customers can access information on more than 1,800 medications and prescription drugs that are commonly prescribed by physicians, including indications, dosing, side effects, drug interactions, photos of medications, and more.

The Pill Phone also offers a medication reminder feature, which allows customers to schedule automatic reminders to take their doses at the appropriate times.

Mark Bartolomeo, vice president of enterprise data sales for Verizon Wireless, said: “The Pill Phone helps our customers leverage technology to manage their health by providing educational information and dosage reminders.”
