UK Based Pediatricians

If you work in UK you probably need to have a software that support the UK formulary list of generic and trade names:

The best answer is the BNF for Children PDA version developed by Skyscape.

Another answer will be Epocrates Rx where UK formulary can be chosen. [Update: May 23, 2008] Epocrates no longer supports international brand names.

However it has to be remembered that Epocrates is essentially developed and supports US formularies, they just added here some of the trade names commonly used in UK and linked them to those already available in USA, which means that drugs that are available in UK but not in USA (e.g Kemadrin) will not be seen in Epocrates.

Another ebook available (The UK electronic Medicines Compendium) from Skyscape and this is a great handbook of all the drugs listed and approved in UK though not pediatric specific.
