Drugs Review

It is not only inspiring but a little dismaying as well to learn that there are over 24,000 prescriptions and over-the-counter medicines which have been developed to keep us well.  Alas, that the human race needs that much medication to keep going BUT fortunately for us, someone has loaded a lot of research and effort into creating Drugs.com, a website which provides information both for patients and their physicians about those 24,000 medicines and more.  Included in Drugs.com is information from these sources for ordinary people (patients) like you and me:

MedFacts Consumer Drug Information

Cerner Multum Consumer Drug Information

Physicians's Desk Reference for Consumers

Micromedex Consumer Information (Advanced)

Also included in the site is information for medical professionals (doctors):

FDA Professional Drug Information

A-Z Drug Facts (Facts & Comparisons)

Micromedex Carenotes

MY VIEWPOINT:

If you want to be a more informed patient -- or if you are just fascinated with medical sites like this -- Drugs.com is worth a peek.  As always, nothing beats discussing your health (or whatever questions you may have after exploring Drugs.com or any other website) with your physician and his or her word should be final regarding prescriptions.
