good morning, i just checked and yes davis' does have interactions in it and a lot more, including contraind/precautions, adv. reaction/side effects, and so on.... i haven't needed to use it too much yet -- i have pharmacology in the next two terms so i'll be definitely using it a lot then... i bought all of my references from skyscape and personally have had no problems with their site... if you go to this site link below and type "drexel" in the promotion code text box, you might be able to get the 20% or so off on your purchases that i got through my school.. it's worth a try... i don't know if your school offers discounts on pda software.. in my program it's mandatory to have them so they have negotiated discounts with certain places.. look here: www.skyscape.com/promotion good luck!
