Information

Summary

One out of two US physicians rely on Epocrates to enable better patient care. Provides safety information about medicines. As a drug interaction checker, the app permits the investigation of potentially-harmful interactions between up to 30 medicines at any one time. A ‘pill identifier’ feature allows single pills to be identified by their appearance and by imprint code. Information is offered on the drugs covered by US insurance companies and schemes. A directory of providers (USA only) shows the location and contact details of the nearest specialists. The app can also be used on a desktop computer. It is primarily intended for medical professionals, but can also be of value to interested patients.

Reviews

Reviewer: Person living with arthritis and Crohn’s disease, USA
Review: “Epocrates helps me make sure my medicines don’t interact with each other. I’m on many medications. I have used many more health apps, but this one [and two others I have recommended to this PatientView survey] are the only ones I felt were worth the price, or I found myself using in the long run.”
