Content in the Nursing Psychiatric Drugs App is updated quarterly throughout the year—in February, May, August, and November. Drugs newly approved by the FDA may also be added during quarterly updates. Late-breaking updates by the FDA, including new indications, new Black Box Warnings, and other new safety alerts, will be reported on a weekly basis and listed as a Latest Update at the top of the drug monograph.

This work is no substitute for individual patient assessment based upon healthcare professionals’ examination of each patient and consideration of, among other things, age, weight, gender, current or prior medical conditions, medication history, laboratory data, and other factors unique to the patient. The publisher does not provide medical advice or guidance, and this work is merely a reference tool.

Given continuous, rapid advances in medical science and health information, independent professional verification of medical diagnoses, indications, appropriate pharmaceutical selections and dosages, and treatment options should be made and healthcare professionals should consult a variety of sources. When prescribing medication, healthcare professionals are advised to consult the product information sheet (the manufacturer’s package insert) accompanying each drug to verify, among other things, conditions of use, warnings, and side effects and identify any changes in dosage schedule or contraindications, particularly if the medication to be administered is new, infrequently used, or has a narrow therapeutic range.
