Lexicomp via UpToDate is only the tip of the iceberg

Mar 1, 2023

Only 20 per cent of Lexicomp is available to you through UpToDate.

Using the full version of Lexicomp online or on mobile quickly gives you:

  • Drug-allergy interactions not available through UpToDate
  • Patient handouts in up to 20 languages versus three languages in UpToDate
  • More medication dosing information with over 130 medical calculators — four times what is available through UpToDate’s basic version of Lexicomp
  • Multiple databases referencing special populations like pediatrics, seniors, pregnant or lactating, and chronic disease

Lexicomp enables you to take a patient-specific approach when making each drug decision by going beyond the standard drug information to include critical, nuanced dosing considerations.

We offer all members a complimentary subscription to Lexicomp online and mobile.

You can get more details about Lexicomp and getting a subscription on the online clinical practice tools web page or in our Programs & Services Guide.

Please email Member Services & Engagement if you would like a complimentary subscription to Lexicomp or a video demo.
