Drug Information Portal

Tonight I researched the Drug Information Portal database. This data base is really amazing. I was shocked at how easy it is to use. I know very little about medications and I still could utilize the data base with out any problem. It is neat because you can enter a specific drug name into the search bar or you can search an entire category of drugs like histamines. Search results bring up the drug, what it does, information about clinical trials, manufacturing information, effects of the drug, and even references used in scientific journals. You can even view the drugs that have been searched the most in the last week. There are links that will take you to breaking news from the FDA and some that will give you refrences to medical and drug literature. There are even link that you can click that will show you the chemical make up of the drug. There is a link that translates prescription names into everyday terms, it really helps when navigating threw all the drug names. It even has a featured drug page where it features a drug and gives you the run down on all the facts about that drug for the week. This data base is really amazing, and super easy to use. Kinda makes me wanna be a pharmasist :)
