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. ----- ### "Provider must-have" — 5.0/5 > **Shar** | *24 February 2026* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love the quick glance access to review medication dosage and cautions. I also love the drug interaction tool. It's really easy to use, not really a learning curve there. The mobile app is convenient, visually interactive and user friendly. > > **Cons**: I wish they offered the herbs and supplements within the free plan as many patients take these without awareness of drug interactions or side effects. In many ways, it's just as important to have access to the herbal supplements as well. ----- ### "Epocrates Athena is the best choice for HealthCare." — 5.0/5 > **Devin** | *19 January 2026* | Medical Devices | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The useability of Epocrates Athena is unmatched to all other EHR systems. It is organized and easy to use and navigate. > > **Cons**: I have nothing negative to report regarding Epocrates Athena. We use this system daily for patient management and engagement and it works very well. > > My experience with Epocrates Athena has been very positive. This EHR system compared to all other is a step above. ----- Page: 1 / 5\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/276297/epocrates?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/276297/epocrates) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
