Stop Googling Every Drug.

Updated: Nov 20

As a resident, you’ve probably found yourself Googling drug dosage, combinations and brands in the middle of rounds -fully aware that what appears on the screen may not be accurate, updated, or safe to rely on. Prescribing shouldn’t feel like a puzzle- but for most, it often does!

You’re expected to remember:

  • Exact drug dosages

  • Safe pediatric doses

  • Critical drug interactions

  • Special precautions for renal or hepatic impairment

  • Whether a drug is safe in pregnancy or lactation

  • And which brands or combinations are actually available (and affordable)

And all this happens during rounds, on duty, or in emergency situations, where a mistake is expensive!

That's why having one reliable, structured source for every drug detail can completely change how you prescribe.

Let’s break down how AstraAI's Drug Database helps you handle this faster, safer and with complete clarity.

1. A Complete, FDA Sourced Drug Library -Accurate and Easy to Search

AstraAI’s drug database is built from FDA-approved drug labels, ensuring:

  • High reliability

  • Consistent updates

  • Standardized medical information

  • Zero dependency on random online sources

You can search any medication instantly without flipping through outdated PDF's or textbooks.

2. Clear Indications & Contraindications - Understand the ‘When’ and ‘When Not’

Every drug page begins with highly relevant clinical details.

  1. Indications "what the drug is used for"

  2. Contraindications "when you must avoid it"

Example :

Abacavir
  • Treats HIV infection

  • Not recommended in hypersensitivity or severe hepatic impairment

This helps you make quick, confident prescribing decisions.

3.Accurate Adult & Pediatric Dosages

One of the biggest prescribing challenges for interns and residents is dose accuracy.

AstraAI provides:

  • Exact adult doses as per condition

  • Weight-based pediatric doses

  • Max dose limits

  • Frequency recommendations

All clearly laid out without guessing, no back and forth checks.

4.Categorized Drug Interactions - Major, Moderate & Minor

Instead of long paragraphs or confusing tables, AstraAI organizes interactions into:

  • Major interactions - avoid completely

  • Moderate interactions - use with caution

  • Minor interactions - monitor if needed

This saves precious time and reduces the risk of missing important interactions under pressure.

5. Essential Special Precautions

AstraAI highlights critical clinical precautions such as:

  • Renal adjustment

  • Hepatic impairment warnings

  • Pregnancy safety

  • Lactation recommendations

These are the small details that often get missed in the rush, but have huge clinical impact.

6. Indian Brands + MRP

Most medical apps skip this, but AstraAI includes:

  • All available Indian brands

  • Strength variations

  • Actual MRP

This helps residents prescribe cost-effective options without relying on pharmacy suggestions.

Why This Matters in Your Daily Practice

Prescribing is no longer just about knowing a drug but about knowing everything around the drug.

  • High patient loads

  • Increasingly complex medication lists
