About this app

For more than 30 years, Frank Shann’s little booklet has helped physicians all around the world prescribe drugs to children. DrugDoses now contains more than 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 updated twice a year! 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$!

The Android version has also lots of other features: more than 150 current laboratory values, a useful cardiology database and a calculator that will help you give the correct resuscitation doses when you are coding a child.

DrugDoses also integrates PedCalc. It contains the most common pediatric scores and formulas:
- ASA score
- Alveolo-arterial gradient
- Anion gap
- Apgar score

Ratings and reviews

Excellent app, easy to use, and very helpful. Will recommend it to any physician who cares for children.

I have been using the app for over 4 years now. drugs are not showing up in proper order, when searched. most often you are lead to a blank page. please fix this asap. would give 5 stars to the previous version.

Great and comprehensive app! The only feature I really miss is the text separation - I quickly get lost in paraph while reading unformated text. My suggestion would be to highlight indications in the text and making it a separate paragraph.
