PhAST Track Information Skills Module: Finding Drug Information

Drugs

Pills

On this page you'll find a number of drug databases and resources to help you find information about perscribing, drug interactions and contraindications.

Drug Database Activity

Remember the question we pulled apart for keywords in "The First Step"?

"Outline the precautions, uses and administrations and adverse effects of arsenic trioxideDiscuss how methods of compounding might influence the absorption of the substance."

Try looking up "arsenic trioxide" in a number of different drug databases and see what kind of information you get from each.  Which gives you the best information about why and when you would (or wouldn't) use it?  Which gives you the best information about compounding or pharmodynamics?
