What do you like best about Epocrates?

I appreciate how easy it is to use Epocrates. I use it primarily as a drug reference, and it is fast to load and easy to find the information I need all in one place. It is my go-to clinical tool for drug reference. It also has a very easy to use drug-drug interaction checker that I reference as needed in my clinical work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Epocrates?

I dislike that for some drugs, the trade name link is useless because the information has been removed since the trade name drug has been discontinued. In that case it would be much easier if the drug information for the generic of the drug were available in that link, of if it were possible to click on a link directly on that page rather than have to go back to the previous page and find the correct drug that does have the full prescribing information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Epocrates:

It is easy to try out Epocrates with the basic, free subscription. It's the fastest and easiest drug reference app I've found. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Epocrates solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am able to reference drug dosing as well as an interaction checker with Epocrates. This benefits my clinical practice because I am able to quickly look up information for drugs I prescribe less often. It allows me to get information I need in a quick and convenient way.
