We've Partnered with ASHP

We’re excited to announce that we’ve partnered with The American Society of Health-System Pharmacists (ASHP) to enable better healthcare through accessible, high-quality data.

Even Better Therapeutic Categories and Alternatives

We are committed to making ongoing improvements to our therapeutic categories and therapeutic alternatives endpoints. As a result, we have created a more targeted list of suggested treatment alternatives through the use of more accurate therapeutic categorization. This will have many benefits. Most notably, it will help prescribing clinicians more easily narrow down a list of alternative medications for a patient.
