Great resource!
I have used Epocrates for at least 10 years. I use it multiple times every day to check doses, combination products, side effects and medication interactions. I find it extremely useful.
PROSCan access it from my phone in the exam room very easily. All my medical calculators are easily accessible. I also use it as my infectious disease resource- I can look up a infection and find the latest recommendations. The meds also include pill pictures which I have used to ask a patient to identify what strength med they are on or if it is scored. It also includes some herbal medications which is useful for checking medication interactions( you can put all your medications in a list and it will list all the interaction).
CONSThe cost is not cheap but it is worth it.

Helpful Resource
I use epocrates to answer simple medical questions during the course of my day. It is also helpful with prescribing decisions (e.g. dosing, titration).
PROSI most commonly use Epocrates as an interaction checker. This feature is simple and explains possible interactions in a more helpful way than my e-prescribing software. I also appreciate Epocrates for simple reviews of health issues.
CONSPopups on the app are bothersome. I also often look for more information about medical issues, which I find more helpful on other applications.
Reason for choosing epocrates
Epocrates was more affordable and appears to have a better mobile product (app) than Dynamed, which is where I primarily access information. NEI Prescribe is very helpful for psychotropic prescribing decisions, but lacks non-psychiatric medication and medical/pathophysiological information.
Reasons for switching to epocrates
High cost of Uptodate as an individual user.

I use this resource daily in my practice
I use this resource on a daily basis as a Physician Assistant in my clinic. I use it so much, in fact, that I keep the 'drugs' and 'weight based dose calculator' tabs pinned on my browser so I can access them at any time, and I use them several times each shift. It saves me a lot of time and work to use it. Love it!!
PROSI love using the dosage calculator to figure out pediatric dosing. I use this on every single pediatric patient that I see that I prescribe medicine to. It is easy to fill in the child's weight information about the medication, and then it spits out the correct dosage for the child. It really makes life so much easier than trying to calculate it on my own. I also use it pretty frequently to see dosage suggestions for people of all ages for different medications. I also love the feature of looking up a medication's safety profile for pregnancy and lactation. I also use the adverse reactions tab for the medicines occasionally to know what to warn patients about. I also LOVE the interaction checker. You can put the different medications in there to see which ones will interact with each other and how. This has been a super handy resource to have!
CONSThe only thing that has annoyed me about this is that sometimes I'll get booted out in the middle of using it and have to sign back in. It sometimes takes 2-3 times clicking on the sign-in button to sign back in. Then it will keep me logged in for awhile, and eventually boot me out again.
