Contains over 185 medical calculators, drug information, and food and drug interactions. Includes patient education briefs and Continuing Medical Education (CME).
Drug information includes “Boxed Warnings,” dosing (including for special populations), generic forms, administration, labeled indications, label and off-label use, adverse reactions, warning and precautions, drug and food interactions, and reproductive and pregnancy considerations. All information is cited to references.
