Drug Databases: Information Pamphlets
=====================================

askapatient.com, here are the sites to look at for "patient inserts"
(the detailed information pamphlets provided by manufacturers with
every medicine) and other kinds of descriptive information about
drugs.

about a drug, especially if you don't have the patient insert.

used, special precautions, special dietary instructions, what to do if
you miss a dose, side effects, storage conditions, brand names, and
more. Information provided by resources from the American Society of
Health-System Pharmacists and United States Pharmacopoeia (USP).

many cases has links to the drug's official LABEL information from the
manufacturer. It contains prescription and over-the-counter drugs. It
will also tell you if a drug has been discontinued from the market.

database contains information on drug indications, recommended dosages
for adults and children, side effects, possible food and drug
interactions, and detailed instructions for use (including in
