Since then, we have released 6 Editions of the textbook, 7 Editions of the Pocket Dose Book, this the 79th Web Update - 2026(1), have made the mobile app of the IAP DF in both android and iOS (iPhone, iPad) platforms very user friendly and have been maintaining international standards as one of the 2 exclusively pediatric drug formularies in the world.
IAP President's Message
It gives me great pleasure to acknowledge and appreciate the efforts behind the Drug Formulary, which is being regularly updated every quarter (digital version).
In our busy clinical practice, and even in most CMEs and academic programs, we often spend a lot of time discussing symptoms, diagnosis, and management protocols. However, detailed understanding of the drugs we prescribe — including pharmacokinetics, safety profile, drug interactions, and rational dosing — is often not discussed in sufficient depth. Yet, this knowledge is extremely important for safe and effective patient care.
