DrugDoses

DrugDoses comprehensive drug and pediatric dosing reference

DrugDoses sets out to be a clinician’s quick reference for systemic medications across adult and pediatric care. Its core database spans a wide range of drugs for systemic use, and it is scheduled for updates twice a year, giving you access to newer therapies earlier than many print counterparts. Access begins with a two year license that includes all updates, with an affordable lifetime option available afterward for 5 dollars.

Beyond drug entries, the scope is impressively broad. You get more than 150 current laboratory values and a focused cardiology section, useful for day-to-day decision making. Emergency clinicians will appreciate the built-in calculator that supports accurate resuscitation dosing during pediatric codes, reducing the need to juggle separate references in urgent scenarios.

DrugDoses also integrates PedCalc, bringing together frequently used pediatric scores and formulas, including ASA score, Mallampati classification, and the Pediatric trauma score, among others. For more in-depth pediatric care, Frank Shann’s Pediatric Critical Care Guidelines are available within the app, structured across 67 concise chapters that cover topics from analgesia and sedation to ventilation. In-app purchases can unlock extra PedCalc tools and PICU Guidelines, so the full feature set is modular depending on clinical needs.

The result is a tightly organized, clinician centered resource that consolidates dosing data, lab norms, specialty content, and pediatric calculators in one place. The semiannual update cadence favors reliability and curated additions over constant churn, and the licensing model is straightforward, with a low cost path to lifetime access. The trade-offs are that some advanced pediatric modules sit behind add-ons, and the content focus leans toward systemic medications rather than every niche drug category.

If your daily practice spans adult and pediatric patients, especially in acute or critical settings, DrugDoses offers a practical bundle of references and calculators that can streamline clinical decisions at the point of care.
