For more than 25 years, Frank Shann’s little booklet has helped physicians all around the world prescribe drugs to children. DrugDoses now contains close to 2500 entries. It lists every drug commonly prescribed for systemic use in both adults and children.
The Android version of the booklet gives you an enormous amount of information, which will be regularly updated ! You will therefore always have the latest drugs, which will only be available in the paper version in a year or two! We offer you the initial 2-year license, with all the updates. After that period, as you will need to keep the drugs database updated, we offer you the possibility to purchase a lifetime license for only 5$!
