What epocrates is for and who uses it
epocrates is a clinical reference for looking up drugs, checking how they interact, reading treatment guidelines and working out doses. The developer names US physicians (MDs and DOs), nurse practitioners, physician associates, pharmacists and medical students as its intended users.
The developer describes it as support at the point of care, meaning the information is meant to be consulted while a clinician is seeing patients or writing a prescription.
Looking up drugs and working out dosages
The drug reference gives a clinician a way to find a medication and read its information quickly. The listing presents this as the core of the app's content.
The dosage calculators are used to work out the amount to prescribe. They sit alongside the drug reference, so a dose can be checked in the same place a drug is looked up.
Checking interactions between drugs
The interaction checker is meant to show how two or more medications may affect each other. A clinician can use it before settling on a combination of drugs for a patient.
The developer lists it among its main tools, so it is one of the features most closely tied to the rest of the reference.
Clinical guidelines and staying current
The app also includes clinical guidelines, which sit next to the drug information and calculators rather than in a separate product. The developer says the content is kept up to date, so a clinician can rely on the same source for drug data and treatment guidance.
Because the tools are grouped together, one app covers the lookup, the dose and the guideline for a given patient.
