Every drug monograph in Plumb’s is designed to give you the information you need in just a couple clicks—or less. Whether you’re double-checking a dosage, reviewing contraindications, or exploring treatment options, the layout is structured, predictable, and easy to navigate so you can spend less time searching and more time treating patients.

Navigating a Drug Monograph

Each drug monograph in Plumb’s follows the same format, making it easy to find key details quickly.

Quick Links for Fast Access

At the top of every drug monograph, you’ll find blue quick links that take you directly to the most commonly referenced sections:

  • Dosages – Jumps straight to species-specific dosing guidelines.

  • Dosage Forms – Quickly see available formulations.

Just tap or click these buttons, and Plumb’s will automatically expand the section for you—no scrolling required.

The Table of Contents: Your Roadmap

For a more detailed view of the sections in the monograph, check out the table of contents. On most desktop screens, it will automatically appear to the left of the content. If you don't see it, tap on the menu icon (three dots and lines with the word Overview) at the top of your screen. This allows you to jump straight to any section of the monograph, from prescriber highlights to contraindications, adverse effects, and toxic doses.

Need to start over? Tap “Back to Top” to return to the beginning of the monograph in one click.

Key Features That Make Drug Monographs More Useful

Plumb’s monographs aren’t just static reference materials. We've embedded helpful tools and resources just a click away. Here’s what you can do from a monograph:

Check for Drug Interactions

Worried about potential interactions? Tap the “Interaction Checker” quick link inside a monograph, and Plumb’s will automatically add that drug to the Drug Interaction Checker—so you can easily compare it against other medications.

Access Pet Owner Handouts

Need to educate a client about their pet’s new medication? Tap the Drug Handout button to view a ready-to-share pet owner guide. You can email, print, or download the handout directly from the next page.

Perform Quick Conversions

Need to convert a weight or volume or calculate a dosage while reviewing a monograph? Plumb’s built-in conversion calculator is embedded for easy use alongside the drug monograph. Look in the sidebar on desktop or in the Dosages section in the mobile app. This simple tool lets you perform calculations without leaving Plumb’s, so you can easily reference your dosage while making conversions.

Attach Personal Notes

Have specific protocols or insights about a drug? Use the Notes feature to attach custom notes to any monograph—just like jotting in the margins of a textbook, except these notes won’t get lost. You can add, edit, or delete notes whenever needed.

Designed for Quick Answers

Whether you’re looking up dosages in a hectic emergency setting or reviewing adverse effects before prescribing a medication, Plumb’s monographs are designed for speed and reliability. With quick links, smart navigation, and built-in tools like the drug interaction checker and pet owner handouts, you’ll have easy access to the information you need at any time.
