1 What is the PediAid Drug Formulary 2.0?

PediAid Drug Formulary 2.0 is a curated pediatric and neonatal drug reference organized into two sections: a live Neonatology formulary of 199 drugs derived from Neofax with India-specific brand names and gestational-age-band dosing, and a Paediatrics formulary (currently in beta) of 478 drugs derived from the Harriet Lane Handbook. Per the app's own description, entries have been cross-checked against the WHO World Model Formulary for Children (WMFc), NNF Clinical Practice Guidelines, the AAP Red Book, DailyMed, and the IAP Drug Formulary. It is described as a curated, copyright-safe formulary built from public sources, and users are instructed to verify every dose against local protocol before use.

2 When to use it
