I was just curious what PHARMACISTS use for programs... this would be helpful to me and lots of my classmates


hail Purdue!

the most comprehensive drug database is lexicomps which is at www.lexi.com

they also have 5MCC which is a good..."disease and therapeutics" book in summary form

i also use a few things from www.skyscape.com like their washington manual...and tabers medical dictionary.

I assume by your post, that you are a student. Having recently graduated, I remember not having much money to pay for programs like lexi-comp. Come to think of it I didn't have money to buy a clie. I imagine you and your classmates are probably looking for free software. Here are a couple free programs that I use:

-epocrates
-medcalc
-johns hopkins antibiotic guide (www.hopkins-abxguide.org)
-tarascon
-Mobile Micromedex (if you work somewhere that has a subscription to micromedex you can get it for free)

Well, being a Pharm.D. I use following
Lexi-Drugs
ePocrates (but its good for basic info only)
John Hopkins ABx guide
a program to keep track of my patients
MedCalc
HanDbase (I create a lot of my own databases in access)
AbPK (for kinetics)
I also keep couple of references in iSilo format
