Drugs.com Adds PDR to Their Database

I've had this information in the review queue for a long time; finally I'm

getting around to add it. Drugs.com has added the Physicians Desk Reference to

their drugs database, and has slightly revamped their search options for finding

any of over 26,000 drugs and medications.

>From the front page of http://www.drugs.com, you may browsealphabetically or

search by keyword. A search for " osteoarthritis " found 68 results divided into

several sections: consumer information, advanced consumer information, PDR

professional information, condition guide,and news and related articles.

The first three sections are drug information, which include brief descriptions

of drugs and pointers to more extensive information. The one result in the

condition guide provides information about osteoarthritis, while the news and

articles category provides some related news which in this case mostly seems to

be focused on arthritis. The search results provide a headline, summary, and

pointer to additional information; unfortunately many of the headlines aren't as

useful as they might be ( " Capsule archive Late March " ).

Don't forget to check the other search options across the top of the Drugs.com

home page, including an interactions checker, pill identifier, and an image

search.
