Online Nursing Drug Guide?

Published

Does anyone know a website on or online Nursing Drug Guide? I need a quick and easy reference on the action, indication, and especially nursing considerations for specific drugs. Thanks in advance. Your help is greatly appreciated.

i subscribe to pepid to look up drugs.

they have [color=#333333]7,500 drug names, generics, otc, and herbals. [color=#333333]they also have a drug interactions generator and an iv compatibility tool which is very helpful at the bedside.

Davis Drug Guide's is drugguide.com. It has meds on it that the book doesn't have.

Another good site is drugdigest.com. You can enter all your meds in and it will give you any interactions. It has some other stuff on it too, but I have only used this site to check for medication interactions. A valuable tool if you need to do any med audits!

I know a few but you need to have access to databases that suscribe - or subscribe yourself

1.Micromedex from Thomson Databases

2.Martindale: The Complete Drug Reference

One that you can access without database access for free is

1. http://www.medscape.com

Hope this helps...

Although I use Davis Drugs for my PDA, which I update every few weeks, when I need quick info about a particular drug and I have a regular computer handy, I usually just google the drug name.
