Not-so-great moments with using Epocrates:

  1. Interesting; when i want a quick summary of the pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics of a drug, i usually go first to the US prescribing information(PI) than the Brit Summary of Product Characteristics (SPC)- the PI is much more detailed. But that Epocrates information really is a bit too minimalist

  2. Obviously it has a terrifying description as we are supposed to be careful about it.

  3. reminds me of the old adage: To err is human. To really screw things up requires a computer!

  4. But the real scary part is the descriptionFloat.

  5. dollar signs, eh? must be really serious cautions and contraindications ... for the proprietary drug-maker? too bad they don't list any of them then we could decide for ourselves whether growing horns from the top of one's head needed to mentioned or not
