### "Helpful Resource" — 4.0/5

> **Marisa** | *2 January 2020* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I most commonly use Epocrates as an interaction checker. This feature is simple and explains possible interactions in a more helpful way than my e-prescribing software. I also appreciate Epocrates for simple reviews of health issues.
> 
> **Cons**: Popups on the app are bothersome. I also often look for more information about medical issues, which I find more helpful on other applications.
> 
> I use epocrates to answer simple medical questions during the course of my day. It is also helpful with prescribing decisions (e.g. dosing, titration).

### "Great resource for healthcare workers" — 4.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *8 August 2019* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I like that it is a simple app, easy to search and find what you are looking for. Great to have all of that in your back pocket and easier than looking up drugs in a huge textbook and not always finding what you're looking for.
> 
> **Cons**: I found that sometimes it didn't have exactly the answers I was looking for but still use it regularly because its so easy.

### "decent resource" — 4.0/5

> **Landon** | *25 November 2025* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: concise medication summaries save time during patient visits and help support confident decision making.
> 
> **Cons**: Some features feel a bit limited, and occasionally the search function requires very specific wording to find what you need. A few guideline sections could be more detailed for complex cases.
>
