For those who have a palm PDA, what drug guide do you recommend?

I've heard good things about ePocrates. Should I get the free download or fork out the money for the pro edition? I'm looking for something complete, up-to-date, and easy-to-use. I might try mobile PDR- but it seems too thick.

Thanks.

I tried the PDA version of the PDR, but I didn't like it. I have the free ePocrates now & like it much better. 🙂


How's that path coming?

Thanks mom.

Just started genetics tonight if that's any indication at all. Christmas break really sucked away all my desire to study. I'm running on fear now.

I wish you well! 😀

Yup, nothing beats the free version of epocrates. It's updated pretty frequently, I've looked up drugs within a few weeks of new drugs being approved by the FDA and epocrates had info on them. It's definitely not neccessary to purchase the pro-version for med school purposes. Another good free drug guide is the "Johns Hopkins antibiotics" guide.

Another vote for Epocrates (I have the paid Pro version, but only because I have a Pocket PC).

d free version of epocrates is nice coz well its free and it gets free updates too. the only thing that isnt nice about it is that it doesnt pharmacokinetics-dynamics details

Epocrates - the mechanism of action descriptions are pretty poor in addition to the pharico-kinectics/dynamics

Lexi-Comp/Lexidrugs is pretty good but costs $ and isnt updated as easily

mobile microMedex is not bad and free
