Designed specifically for point-of-care clinicians, Micromedex provides a single interface to access, search, and navigate to drug, disease, toxicology, and patient education information. It provides access to the most used drug information, such as: dosing, adverse effects, indications, and interactions.

Micromedex zeroes in on use of medications and information to make evidence-based decisions. The app is often condensing long strings of text and does not have the same visual appeal as the desktop version. While a great point of reference for quick decisions, the library suggests utilizing the desktop version if you have more time to make decisions or delve into a question. Below is an example of the same drug lookup as the right sided screen shot above.
