DrugDoses (Frank Shann) Update

I blogged about PDA version of Drug Doses by Frank Shann back in May 2005. They have updated the PDA database recently. This is the email I received the other day:

Dear Colleague,

We are proud to announce that we have updated our database. You'll find lots of
new drugs, corrections, and new informations. All these changes will only appear
in the next booklet, that will not be published for at least two more years...
Therefore, thanks to DrugDoses, you'll be the only one with this new database!

I'd say it's very handy indeed. I still keep a printed copy in my locker but with the PDA version in my Palm, It's definitely better for those young patients occationally lodger in our adult ICU.

It comes with searchable drugs database, cardiology database, resuscitation drugs where u can just enter the weight of the patient and the programme tells you the correct doses of those common resus drugs; also feature the normal lab values of different age groups.
