you can get it by downloading merckmedicus mobile, and the download is free, but you are required to be a health care provider to register for merckmedicus for free

I was going to purchase this app but then i saw that it was not full text. I understand that a lof of memory may be required for 3000 pages of text to be loaded into a phone. The problem is, i want all of the information and it seems like this app is going to allow me to find my topic, read a reduced version of a topic, and then go get my merck text.

give me the full text, for full price, on my iphone and i am sold.

We were unable to transfer the comments for this particular post from our old website. There were two key comments made. One of our readers asked the difference between the Home edition and the Professional edition of the Merck Manual.

The developer responded with the following in our original comments section:

“@aizatamlikha I’m one of the developers of the Merck Manual applications. The Professional Edition is written especially for health care professionals while the Home Edition has been “translated” into everyday language for laymen. Both apps include the full text of their respective book – the difference is mainly the audiences that this content is tailored to. I hope that this helps!”
