The Standard in Injectable Drug Compatibility Information Since 1971

The King Guide to Parenteral Admixtures has provided the most up-to-date, complete and innovative injectable drug compatibility and stability information since 1971. As a 'standard' reference in hospital pharmacy worldwide, the King Guide is a proven, authoritative resource for pharmacists, nurses, physicians and other practitioners involved in the preparation and administration of intravenous drugs.

No other IV drug reference has this much to offer:

The King® Guide to Parenteral Admixures®
"This is the most updated information on parenteral admixtures on the market."
IJPC Vol.5 No.4 July/August 2001.
Original Research

The King Guide is now funding research for drugs that have been requested by our subscribers, partners, and editorial staff. Prior research studies have chosen drugs based on a variety of criteria but not necessarily drugs that are the most sought after in typical clinical applications. Now, King Guide not only provides the most complete information possible, but will also provide the information that is most requested by practitioners. No other reference is as responsive to requests or is as advanced in addressing the ever changing technological capabilities for information delivery.

Expanded Database

The King Guide Internet Edition has been expanded to include thousands of compatibility results from published literature too voluminous for print
distribution.

Prevent Medication Errors

The single largest cause of medication errors is incomplete information and potentially the most costly are those involving intravenous drug therapy. Immediate access to accurate, up-to-date, authoritative highly specialized compatibility information is therefore essential if such medication errors are to be avoided.

By providing the King Guide on a variety of media practitioners can quickly lookup compatibility and stability information at any time. Simply put, there is a King Guide for every setting, often for less cost than a single improperly prepared admixture which must be discarded.
