A lot of new medicines are being developed day by day and it is hard to keep track of what medicine is out there in the market right now. Even the professional doctors have hard time keeping track of the medicines and wrong prescription is surely going to end up in a disaster. So in this case a doctor needs something like online drug and disease resource. Epocrates Inc. has come ahead with a solution with something called Epocrates online free drug and disease resource. Epocrates have developed medical software used by over 500,000 healthcare professionals and introduced a new web-based application. The free Epocrates online product provides clinicians with rapid access to practical, evidence-based content, including:
- New disease database – condition overview and risk factors, treatment approach, tests to order, national medical society guidelines, and more
- Integrated drug reference guide – critical prescribing information on more than 3,300 drugs, including dosing, interactions and health plan coverage.
Even the patients can visit the website and find out what their doctors are prescribing. For example, Bactrim is a common drug prescribed for any bacterial infection such as acne but most of the patients wouldn’t know about the side effects and other information about the medication. Epocrates provides all the necessary information regarding any specific drugs in their webpage. So this way both the patients and the doctors can get help regarding the medication.
This announcement was paid for by Epocrates.
