Hey all,
So, I just started rotations last week. I felt like I knew my drugs pretty well, but here everyone just uses brand names and for USMLE we just used generic names. so, I was wondering if anyone had like a list of drugs with just brand and generic names? If you could share that, it'll be great. I dont have epocrates coz I cant afford $30 per month for the internet!
Thanks

a Tarascon pocket pharmacopia would be a worthwhile investment.

It's ~$10, it has generic and brand names, dosing, indications, etc and fits in your pocket.

definitely worth it if you are iphone/PDA-less

Another vote for the Tarascon Pharmacopoeia. I still drag around the one I bought during 3rd yr of med school.

Does your hospital have wireless? If so, and itouch might be worth it. Very often we had to look things up on the fly and students who could use epocrates, archimedes, mobileDDx/diagnosaurus, and google had an edge over the others.
