Edict Posted August 6, 2018 Report Share Posted August 6, 2018 What apps are people using to find out information like drug dosages or indications for various medications for their phone? Any recommendations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NLengr Posted August 6, 2018 Report Share Posted August 6, 2018 I use medscape most of the time because it's quick and free. I also have dynamed which I will occasionally use (it's is free with your CMA membership). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ploughboy Posted August 6, 2018 Report Share Posted August 6, 2018 I've been using Tarascon's Pharmacopeia since forever. Started out with the pocket book edition and am too set in my ways to change. App does everything I need, quickly. $50/yr. I tried RxTx (free from CMA) but didn't like it as much. https://joule.cma.ca/en/evidence/cps-online-and-rxtx-mobile-app.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesigh2 Posted August 6, 2018 Report Share Posted August 6, 2018 Depends on what for. Lexicomp I use frequently for most dosing. For antibiotic prescribing there are several - I prefer spectrum which was created in BC (free), but also use bugs and drugs and Sanford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A-Stark Posted August 6, 2018 Report Share Posted August 6, 2018 UpToDate has Lexicomp which is probably the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mithril Posted August 7, 2018 Report Share Posted August 7, 2018 Ditto. I use UpToDate/Lexicomp. Very quick to use the app. My division of family practice provides it for free which is nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
