We gathered world-renowned experts in nephrology and pharmacology to expand and advance renal dosing content and provide clinical context for those recommendations. Where other drug information may provide the basics, we have an unparalleled commitment to supporting clinicians as they make decisions not only in the straightforward cases, but in the most complex. We achieve this through our unmatched multidisciplinary editorial team that anticipates clinicians’ needs when treating patients with varied medical conditions, and through our formulary and advanced machine learning technology, delivering that relevant information quickly and across solutions.
