I sent this question to Epocrates tech support. They replied:

"We are currently working on a native application for the Android platform that we plan to launch in the next few months. If you currently have an Android device, Epocrates Online and Epocrates Online Premium have been optimized for mobile web browsing and can be accessed on the Android."

I find that Epocrates Online works fairly well in the meantime.

next few months? that is such BS. i thought they were going to launch it by the end of this year........

The Uptodate mobile site displays very nicely on the Droid and is very snappy. The content is top notch but unless you have institutional access, it is expensive. (~$450/yr)

...and if more pharmacies would have a direct-to-the-pharmacist-for-physicians-line, I'd call more often. As it is I am NOT willing to go through an extensive automated directory to (maybe) eventually get a pharmacist. It's a big enough pain when my nurse calls for me!

lol

Its no picnic for a pharmacist to call a doctor's office when there is a problem either.

Have not used these references but here are some options:

Harrison's Manual of Medicine $ 59.95

Merck Manual Suite + Davis's Drug Guide $ 79.95

I recommend waiting for future apps.

We have UpToDate here at the clinic, I'll have to check in to the mobile site and see how it looks. Thanks for the tip! I didn't know they had a mobile site.

Man I am glad to find this forum. I just bought a droid for my partner who is a primary md who does full scope medicine. I will look into the up to date at her office to see if they have moble for their staff to use.

I know this might be a long shot, but is there an app which uses the camera similar to barcode and "Goggles" Which scans the pill and gives suggestions?


Plus I checked Skyscape's website and there Ident a drug is not available for Android phones yet.
