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.

Can 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).

The cost is not cheap but it is worth it.

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).

I 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.

Popups on the app are bothersome. I also often look for more information about medical issues, which I find more helpful on other applications.

No live person to resolve disputes. Took money out of my account and I did not receive the product.

Use is nice but I did not get product. I paid for it, money was taken from my account, but NO product.

Money was taken from my account by direct debit and I did not get the product. No live person to talk to.

Only minor Cons can be found in this software To get many information you need internet connection Sometimes the update takes long time The epocrates plus app is relatively expensive

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!!

I 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!

The 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.

This is an extensive resource that I would recommend to any healthcare provider. It provides access to diagnostic information and treatment recommendations. In addition, the phone app is well-made and convenient to carry for any provider.

This software is an amazing resource for healthcare providers. It provides a detailed database of diagnoses, treatment options, pharmaceutical information, and so much more. I am currently a PA student, and I have used this software on a regular basis to find information on case studies from school. I am able to search symptoms, conditions, medicines, and conditions associated with disease to find an extensive amount of information related to every case. While this does not replace needing to know information as a healthcare provider, it is a fast reference guide for staying up to date on the most recent research and treatment recommendations. I will be a long-time user of this resource.

There is a small learning curve with the software due to its expansive nature. There is so much information present that it may take a user some time to figure everything out. As a user for more than a year, I am still not sure that I understand how to use all of the features of the software. In addition, to access all of the utility of the software, there is a yearly fee. This fee is worth the price in my opinion, however.

Excellent and has really changed my medical practice

This software allows you to access thousands of drugs in a moment and then allows you to look up dosing, interactions, and common side effects to name a few main features. As a medical student, I find this essential to everyday use on the ward floor and in clinic. A must have.

There seriously aren’t many things to put in this category, but honestly the worst thing is that it almost has too much information and can make accessing what you actually need a little bit hard.

My overall experience has been effective and positive. I am able to look up medications and screen for interactions with ease.

The software is reliable and very well-designed. The drug finders and interaction calculator is efficient and effective.

Sometimes the medications are not completely presented in the best fashion. But overall, it is functional enough to be useful on the ward.

Keeps me up to date on medications

Easy to use. I've been using it for the past 15 years. Updates all the time. Excellent resource for anyone in a medical practice.

Some features not available unless you pay for a subscription. Very useful otherwise. Would pay for it if they gave a discount to providers.

Information, and I think is the best benefit I get from this software, is the best in the medical area.

I'm a med student, currently I spend most of them time at hospital and when I need specific information this app is the best of all, the search mode is easier than you think and the patient can get total access and help to understand about medications, illness, symptoms and more, this is the best medical app I know.

Some features are not available if you don't get a subscription, but I also think it worth you get the subscription, generally I don't have any complain about this app.

I use it daily for my practice. Very inclusive

It has all the information on a drug in one location. If I know the drug I want its filled with information about it. Side effects are also covered and dosage ...both for kids and adults. If I want to know about diseases it is covered

It can be hard to from Pharmceutical name to Generic

This product is great for looking up drug information questions. I use the free version on my phone at work quite often. It's an awesome product for those who cannot afford to pay for products like Clinical Pharmacology or Micromedex. The app covers all of the basic information that you may need to know about a medication such as proper dosing, drug interactions, black box warnings, and pill identification.

The only problem with this product is that it is not always up to date with the most current drug information. This has been a complaint of others that I work with, however I myself have not experienced this problem.

I use this program daily for those moments I need to know dosages quickly. As a Pediatrician, many sources do not have accurate information. I can trust this program.

The updates take a while and catch me by surprise since I cannot use the app without updating.

I was introduced to Epocrates in grad school and have found it useful to explore in my spare time on my iPhone. Unfortunately, cell phones are not allowed in the clinical setting.

I like most the comprehensiveness of the information found using the Epocrates app. Nurses can have the drug formulary and pill identification as well as calculators and information about diseases, its ICD codes, and processes at their fingertips. I especially like the research, health related information like current standards and ADA guidelines, and the picture polls too.

I have no comment about anything I dislike.

It has been useful to me during the dental visit because it is an easy way to find the medications that I must prescribe to my patients.

Each one of the topics that it presents allows health professionals to know in detail everything related to a medicine and the possible interactions with others; In addition to knowing which medications are specific for a particular pathology.

If I have to say something I do not like, I will only talk about the color of the page, because it should have more neutral colors so that it does not distract the professional's view.

Epocrates is a great resource for health care professionals to use when they need to get more information about different drugs, dosing, and interactions. It is easy to use and also fairly easy to access. There is value in its use for everyone from medical students to physicians.

The software is easy to use for drug related information. Whether it is dosing, adverse reactions or interactions.

I think that for an app that is so user friendly and helpful in the clinical setting, its ridiculous that the software inst free.

It is very easy to use and understand. It provides a lot of information about medications such as use, dosing, side effects, interactions, etc. You can also use the pill identifier to help figure out what tablets or capsules you have loose. Excellent resource to have on your phone.

It requires a subscription to get the full service which can be pricey. Updates can sometimes take a long time.

I don't know where I'd be without Epocrates. I use it every day

Epocrates is an invaluable app for dosing and other pharmacology questions

Sometimes, its slow to load, and freezes

Great compilation of resources that are easy to access. I have loved using this program in my medical schooling, especially in clinical settings. I love that there is a mobile/tablet app that allows me to carry almost unlimited resources in the pocket of my white coat as I work in the hospitals.

Some of the features do cost extra, and it can be a bit pricey especially for medical students/residents, but it is worth the extra money to have this full resource at your disposal.

I use this often, roughly every week. My primary use is for looking up medication doses and reading up on new medical material. I find it quite easy to search for medicines because of this device.

Although I know updates are necessary, I feel like there is an update very frequently that takes time to download.

This program is a very good guide to medications that are available to treat symptoms.

I love how I can look up medications and get dosing and interactions very easily.

I really can not think of anything that I do not like about this program. It is very easy to use!

This is an excellent source for all medical providers. It will show you the correct dosing for all medications

There are some medications that were not in this software

Overall, this resource has been invaluable to me. I recommend it to all physicians and medical students.

This software is amazing for quickly looking up a concise repository of drug information. I use this frequently on rounds or while dosing medications to double check renal dosing and other special considerations.

This software requires an email to sign up and use. This isn't a big deal, but I forgot a password and it told me my email wasn't recognized.

Easy to use and a great help

Ease and quick reference for busy physician

No hyperlinks to more detailed information

I currently have the free version of Epocrates. The app is generally good for finding out the indications for a drug and other basic information.

The free version does not have any type of drug interaction checker or pill identifier, which would be helpful. I also don't like how every time I open the app, a series of short article links pops up in front of the main menu and I have to exit out of that first to get to what I want to see.
