Epocrates Rx for BlackBerry

Our free drug reference is the #1 mobile drug reference for U.S. physicians. With it, you can search brand, generic, and OTC medicines.

Review drug prescribing and safety information for thousands of brand, generic, and OTC drugs:

• Adult and pediatric dosing for FDA-approved and off-label indications.
• Black box warnings, adverse reactions, drug interactions, and more.
• National and regional healthcare insurance formularies.
• Direct access to many manufacturers by phone or email for answers to your critical prescribing questions.
• Approximate retail drug pricing for patients paying out-of-pocket.
• Pregnancy risk categories, lactation safety ratings, monitoring parameters and therapeutic drug levels.
• DEA/FDA status
• Metabolism, excretion, drug class, and mechanism of action

Check for potentially harmful drug-drug interactions between up to 30 drugs at a time including brand, generic, and OTC drugs. Potential interactions are organized by category to help you determine the appropriate action.

Our interaction logic goes beyond prescribing information to incorporate research that factors attributes such as inhibition potency, substrate exclusivity, and therapeutic index to determine clinical significance.
