Not sure what those pills your doctor prescribed are for and what side effects to watch out for? Wondering about the strange pills you found in Johnny's room? Or are you a medical professional who needs quick access to a professional drug reference in the field?

Drugs.com combines separate professional and consumer drug references with a handy "Pill Wizard" for identifying mystery pills.  Search by drug name or shape, color and the imprint on a pill or capsule.  The wizard returns a list of possible matches with a picture of each. The site has information on over 24,000 prescription and non-prescription drugs.

As a consumer I found the site easy to use and the information on covered drugs extensive, basically the same as those sheets of paper that your pharmacist gives and if you are like me you immediately threw away. Source: Mobility.mobi

All seafood contains mercury. Some is naturally occurring but about half of the mercury in the environment is the result of burning coal and natural gas, gold mining, smelting and cement production.  

Eating fish high in mercury can be harmful to health, particularly for pregnant women, nursing mothers, women who might become pregnant, and children. The US EPA and FDA have published guidelines for safe levels of consumption.

This mobile friendly calculator from the Sea Turtle Restoration Project helps you monitor your mercury consumption on the go. Simply choose the fish type from a list and enter your weight and serving size and the calculator will show you how much mercury it contains and whether it exceeds the EPA/FDA limit.

Registered users can track their calories by entering their meals on The Daily Plate desktop or mobile web site.  In addition to the typical database of packaged and bulk foods, The Daily Plate also incorporates menus from many restaurant chains like McDonald's or Romano's Macaroni Grill .  You can just type "McDonald's" for nutritional information on that Quarter Pounder With Cheese that you are about to eat and add it to your daily calorie count with a click. The site will also suggest lower calorie alternatives at the same restaurant.

Although you need to register and log in to track your calories, the mobile edition of The Daily Plate can be used by anyone to quickly look up nutritional information for produce, packaged products or chain restaurant items. Source: Oh! Mobile Directory
