Thomson's Clinical Xpert

Of course since I go to the University of Iowa College of Pharmacy J, I have also had access to Thomson’s Micromdex. The feature of Micromedex that stands out for me is Toxicology, I remember searching for overdose information on more than one drug. Well, luckily Thomson didn’t leave that feature out when creating the PDA version Clinical Xpert. Also part of the attractive features are: Alt Med, Calculators, Disease, and Lab Advisor. Alt Med, as you probably guessed is information on herbals and dietary supplements, including drug interactions and pregnancy category. Lab Advisor has info on over 500 laboratory tests like monitoring and determining appropriate tests. Clinical Xpert even has alerts like FDA announcements and disease information. Since I hope to practice in community pharmacy, I think Clinical Xpert would be my choice for handheld information. Even before I get out into the “real world” I can download Clinical Xpert for free, because it free to the college. HooRahh!
