Re: Re: Help! antibiotics

[Guest guest]

Dear a,

Although you already have your reply I thought of the

site mentioned earlier today on this list which is

very useful.

http://www.medicinenet.com

Under medical links you will find several sites with

lists of drugs and their descriptions. The FDA site

has explanations about B-Lactam trials.

Hope this helps.
