• The seventeenth web update of the IAP Drug Formulary, the first for 2010, is now available for download. This update contains the entire content of the 2nd hard copy edition of the formulary - IAP Drug Formulary 2009 - released at the XXXXVIIth IAP National Conference of IAP - Pedicon 2010, Hyderabad, Jan 2010. Since the Online Desktop and PDA versions have also been developed simultaneously, all this data can now be browsed by the user from any Desktop (even those in which his formulary is not installed) or any model of mobile phones/PDAs with internet connection from anywhere in the world.

  • From the Editor's Desk
    Dr. Jeeson C Unni

    The IAP Drug Formulary was officially released in 2005 and is now being used by over 3500 pediatricians all over the country. The Quarterly Web Update facility has made the contents quite dynamic. Changes could be made in the formulary as and when new developments in pharmacology and pediatric therapeutics became available.

    After 15 Web Updates, the present contents are very different from that in the original book - IAP Pediatric Drug Formulary 2004. Therefore a new edition of the book - IAP Pediatric Drug Formulary 2009 - is being presented. We propose that along with the Quarterly Web Updates, a new edition of the book will be printed once in 5 years.

  • IAP President's Message
    Dr Deepak Ugra

    Practicing pediatricians often needs to quickly ascertain or confirm, for a drug under prescription, the dosage, contraindications, toxicity, adjustment in renal disease, or compatibility with lactation. Thus, there is a felt need for a handy and easily browsable reference. Rational drug therapy also remains another concern.

    Unique features of this pediatric drug formulary are its quarterly web updates, free of cost. This is the only formulary in the world with such a facility. There are now about 3500 satisfied users of this Book and CD.
