Drug Info Website?
Started by SarahLorraine
Most brand name drugs have their own websites. What kind of info are you looking for? You could get a print out of the drugs at your pharmacy.
Oh I don't know...I did find the company website. My husband was just asking me about something he was just prescribed because he wanted me to look it up on the internet and he originally gave me the wrong name so I couldn't find it anywhere. I'm just in my prereqs for pharmacy school so I'm just trying to get a feel for things too and I was curious if there was some sort of go-to place for pharmacists. The pamphlet they give you seems so basic to me.
Hey, what kind of materials does a pharmacist recieve when a new drug is on the market and they need to learn about it? Is there a really detailed booklet about it? Man I can't wait to learn all this stuff. It is so interesting.

GSM's Clinical Pharmacology if you can get access to it. Myself along with countless others would be lost without it.
Wikipedia is good at everything.
rxlist.com is ok, too...

package insert, but this wouldn't help you if you don't know how to interpret or find the information you are looking for.
When I was undergrad and intern for a Teratogen service, I used rxlist.com and drugs.com for my own personal interest. To me Rxlist is more like for professionals so you can go on there and try. Every other source seems to be connected with pharm school already.
When I was in the hospital, and Chantix came out, I rememebered the drug rep brought in several small booklets and folders with infos for people who are not pharmacists to read. Then I saw the rx director handed out a stack of paper to every pharmacist and they all read it very carefully. I would suspect that stack is written specifically for pharmacists then.

Rxlist.com is good. Micromedex, clinical pharmacology, Lexi.com all require log in info. If you are a pharmacy student, Facts and Comparisons offers a one year trial upon verification or you can sign up for or you can access a one month free trial. Globalrph.com and uptodate are good for clinical info.
