About Mosby's Drug Reference
Mosby's Drug Reference is the mobile drug lookup tool trusted by healthcare professionals for over 30 years. Based on the latest 2022 edition, this comprehensive resource eliminates medication errors and improves clinical accuracy with detailed drug information at your fingertips—in the classroom, at the bedside, or anywhere patient care happens.
Access comprehensive drug monographs covering more than 5,000 generic and trade-name medications. Each entry provides concise, evidence-based information organized by action, usage, dosage, interactions, side effects, contraindications, and more. Quickly locate critical safety data with highlighted Black Box Warnings, high-alert medication flags, and life-threatening side effect alerts. The app includes an FDA approval appendix tracking the latest drug authorizations, plus practical IV therapy updates and guidance on unlabeled uses and easily confused drug names.
Find medications instantly using full-text search functionality. Create personalized study and reference tools by highlighting key information and adding custom notes directly within drug entries. Bookmark your most-referenced medications in the "Favorites" section for one-tap access. Consult a comprehensive appendix of 150+ clinical abbreviations to ensure you're interpreting prescriptions and medical documentation accurately.
Navigate confidently with visual icons marking rare medications and high-alert drugs, ensuring you stay aware of safety considerations at a glance. Whether you're a nurse, pharmacist, physician, student, or other healthcare professional, having reliable drug reference information reduces prescribing errors and supports evidence-based clinical decisions.
Start with a 14-day free trial — no payment required upfront. After 14 days, a one-year subscription costs $45.99 and renews annually through your device account. You control your subscription: disable auto-renewal anytime before your trial ends to avoid charges. Mosby's Drug Reference keeps you informed and confident in every medication decision you make.
