Epocrates is what it's all about

This announcement was paid for by Epocrates.

Did you know that free drug reference for iphone is actually available? It is. Now, the phone that you used to watch "Lazy Sunday"--the incredible SNL rap music video--can be used to actually do something that involves a job not in the creative/media world too! Cool! And I thought it was just to play Lil Wayne MP3s!

So physicians are going mobile, ya'll. I'm talkin' iPhone style baby. (The only way to use a phone.) Drug information is always on call with Epocrates. More than half of the doctors around now use PDAs or smartphones, and Epocrates is a huge reason why, man! Dog, I'm serious! Best believe it (as Big Boy says on Power 106)! It's radtastic! Their medical reference software is used by over 500,000 healthcare professionals, chief! They have a complete drug guide on their PDA or smartphone. It's fully-loaded. They can access all this great information that they need to prescribe the right medicine. And at a moment's notice! They can access information to help you with drug dosing, side effects and health plan coverage. Does anybody else see how ridiculously cool this is???

For example, if a physician or doctor is prescribing an antibiotic for a stubborn sinus infection, but the patient is already on Coumadin, then that particular doctor could pull out his tricked-out PDA/smartphone and try to find any possible harmful interactions between the two drugs. That way, he will know before he rights the prescription. Isn't that awesomness in a bottle (prescription of course)?

You still want to know more? You want to know exactly what the Epocrates drug reference guide offers? Okay. How about this:

Free medical Pocket PC software
Free medical Palm software
Free medical Windows Mobile software

They also launched a free drug reference for BlackBerry devices too. Oh my awesomeness/radicalness! And they are working closely with Apple to develop a downloadable drug guide for iPhones too! That will be great when that comes out. But in the meantime, doctors with an iPhone or iPod Touch can access Epocrates content by visiting m.epcorates.com on their Safari web browser.

Check it out now! You will not be sorry. I promise! :)
