I thought that only people like me depend on the internet too much for information but nowadays, even doctors consult the internet. With Epocractes, a free web-based drug and formulary reference guide like, drug information can be retrieved with just a mouse click.

Clinicians the world over are overworked and underpaid so Epocrates have made their workload lesser, as clinicians can prepare information by just printing or e-mailing the information to their patients, in simple language.

Meanwhile, patients can also spent time learning more on pharmaceutical drugs and supplements, like Effexor, Aspirin or Plavix, which is good, since one-third of American adults take at least five different types of medication or supplements daily.

Patients can also learn more about dosage, side effects and reaction of a drug against other drugs. It is high time for patients to be educated and take control of their health.
