Epocrates Reviews & Product Details

I used it on a daily basis mostly to look up medication information, but there are a number of other features which are also helpful. I am a pediatric neurologist and the dosage information is well-described for peds. It is also easy to access other useful information including mechanisms of action, prices, and even pictures of the medication as well as a pill identifier as sometimes patients will describe their medications that way (e.g., "that round blue pill for anxiety"). I also use it very frequently to look up side-effects and interactions, as there is a section for adding medications together to see what interactions they may cause. There are also educational sections and calculators. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I feel like the price of the medications are frequently not available, or it doesn't give pricing info for a particular dosage. Also, the version I use does not provide information for OTC supplements, but I believe the pay version does. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

To be user plus you have to disburse a bit of money a bit exaggerated, when updating any list it can take a long time, in many cases the application of information saturation and is not pleasant, I have some friends abroad and I have recommended this application would be quite useful if they incorporated more languages into it. The phone application at startup is quite slow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love Epocrates app, it has made nursing school much easier. I recently downloaded this after a recommendation and it was worth it. During clinicals I often don't have access to a computer so this is an easy quick way to look for information regarding a specific drug. The best feature is the streamlined look on the drug page and how straightforward the information is they have on each page. I don't like having to read a paragraph about drug information when I just need the basics about it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

So far I have not found anything I dislike about the app. I will edit my review if I find something in the future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I most like the ability to search drugs both by name and by body system. After selecting a drug, the app conveniently organizes information based on adult dosing, peds dosing, CIs, adverse reactions, etc. I additionally appreciate that black box warnings are clearly indicated and don't require additional searching.

I wish finding the home screen button was easier. To get back to the home screen, you press the "e" at the top right corner of the app. I found this unclear and difficult to remember when I first started using Epocrates. Also, the app is sometimes slow when loading information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

epocrates is a medical dictionary all in one. I can read about recent drugs in the field. I can calculate BMI, I can check interactions. It is awesome for furthering my education and staying up to date on the research Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like everything. I currently do not have the paid version so I do have some limitations but I can still see quite a bit of information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

So in the pro version: I love the photos under diagnoses, the differential dx option, and the Pill ID feature. It's not just a pharmacopeia, it's an app that has so much information! You can look up diagnoses and see different treatment options, the diagnoses pages include photos, and the Pill ID is awesome because it helps identify mystery pills based on color, shape/size, imprints, etc. The interaction check is so convenient and easy to use!

some of the recommendations aren't fully referenced. I've heard at a psychology lecture (from a pharmacologist and a psychiatrist) that Epocrates is their least favorite app for drug references because some of the information on the drugs are backed up by poor studies/references/citations.
