The mobile version (iOS, Blackberry, Android) of AccessPharmacy features essential portions of the site’s content optimized for the unique size and speed constraints of mobile browsers. In order to access the mobile version of AccessPharmacy, users simply need to create a personal ‘My AccessPharmacy’ account from any on-site computer at the institution with which they are affiliated.
