3. INFORMATION ON THE INTERNET

Generally speaking the internet is the most accessible resource available for instant access to information. Some topics are harder than others to research on the net. Luckily there is a relatively large amount of accurate information in free circulation on prescription drugs.

One of the best sites to get consumer and professional information on all types of prescription drugs is Drugs.com. Drugs.com keeps up to date information on most types of prescription drugs plus articles on newly available medications.

Medline Plus is a government site with prescription drug information, news, health information and links to local health services in your area.

Drug Digest offers an extensive drug library, a section on treatments and conditions, drug comparisons and interactive tools for you to use.

The FDA website has consumer drug information, updates on recent approvals, warnings and alerts concerning prescription drugs and information on the clinical trials of prescription drugs trying to gain approval.

For more information on prescription drugs, their uses and side effects you could visit the Mayo Clinic website.

You can use these sites to find the information you need or as a reference point from which to begin your own research.
