ReplyDeleteHi..I have been using Skyscape applications on my smartphone for a long time and these guys regularly update their applications. If you register on their website, they also send notifications of new updates and launches. For registration, visit www.skyscape.com
ReplyDeleteI'm getting a new phone tomorrow and am now looking into the different drug/medical databases available. I know I love and can trust Lexi-Comp but is there a way to check the validity of the information some of these other databases offers such as PEPID or Skyscape?
