Lexicomp Tools

UpToDate uses Lexicomp to provide two essential tools: a searchable Drug Information database and an interactive Drug Interaction tool. Both of these are accessible through the homepage. 

Lexicomp Drug Information Database

Drug Information

UpToDate includes access to over 6,000 unique drug entries in the Lexicomp drug database. There are two ways to search that database, one of which is to use the drop down menu on the blue tool bar on the homepage.

Lexicomp Drug Interactions Tool

Drug Interactions

Through UpToDate, users can access the Lexicomp Drug Interactions tool, which allows you to create a custom list of medications and drugs and view any known reactions and contraindications.

To access this tool, click on "Drug Interactions" from the UpToDate homepage. From the following screen, you are able to search for and add as many drugs or medications as you would like.
