Question

Are over-the-counter medications available in Epocrates?


Answer

Over-the-counter (OTC) medications are available with all Epocrates mobile and online products. Product-specific monographs answer questions such as:
  • What are the active ingredients and their uses?
  • What's the dose for my patient's age?
  • What flavors are available?
  • Does the product contain alcohol, sugar, or dyes?
  • Will it interact with prescription and herbal medications?
  • Is there another product with the same active ingredients, but in a chewable or liquid form?
  • My patient needs an analgesic, an antihistamine, and an antitussive; is there one product with all of these?
  • Is this product covered by my patient's health insurance?
If you have any questions or comments, please contact Epocrates Support by email or by Live Chat between 6AM and 6PM Pacific time, Monday through Friday.
