Very handy app I discovered in school. After the 90 day trail it was a bit expensive but over the course of a year I have found it to be worth it. It really is an entire drug book that offers all the dosaging for various conditions and pediatric weight based dosing, side effects broken into rare and frequent and occasional categories and even administration guidelines for every drug which is the most helpful.. I only wish it let you search drugs by their common name as well as generic names
