Description
Have dosing advice and drug interaction information for your pregnant and lactating patients in the palm of your hand! Over 2000 prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications, and popular herbal supplements are detailed in this comprehensive yet easy-to-navigate handheld software created specifically for OB/GYNs, midwives, neonatologists, and nurse practitioners. Each listing covers mechanism of action, side effects, interactions, dosage, and degree of safety during pregnancy or lactation-indicating precisely whether each one is FDA-approved for use by expecting or nursing mothers, or whether the drug is generally considered to be safe in the absence of FDA approval. Quarterly updates to pda content provide cutting edge advances to drug dosing information. Users can hot sync their handheld device and receive updated drug information written by the author approx. 4 times a year. Eye-catching icon/typeset to highlight known teratogens. This feature, also in the companion text, helps users to easily recognize drugs that could cause developmental malformations and other major problems. Includes over-the-counter drugs and alternative medications. "Alternative" medications like herbal supplements are becoming increasingly popular and can have serious interactions or cause pregnancy complications similar to prescriptions. By listing over-the-counter drugs and alternative medications along with the prescription drugs, users have information concerning possible drug interactions in one product. Users can drill down though the alphabetical drug list, or search by generic/trade name, indications, fetal considerations, etc. to quickly find information on dosage, adverse reactions, and interactions. Users can also navigate quickly by using hyperlinked text. Unfortunately, this handheld software is not Mac-compatible. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
