General Comments: The well-loved Davis Drug Guide series, published annually for Nurses, has been refashioned by many PDA software makers. The version by Unbound was the only one to win the Handango "Best (Healthcare) Industry Application" in 2005. It is a well-researched product that is most helpful for those who need to access information quickly at the patient's bedside, but it is only updated quarterly and lacks a separate tool for drug interactions, as with Epocrates or Lexi-Comp.
