Drugs.com offers extensive consumer and professional level information about drugs.
A private company publishes the website. The website states that other publishers supply content and that the Drugs.com editorial staff reviews this content. An exception is Patient Tips, which the Drugs.com clinical team writes and peer-reviews. The FDA has recommended Drugs.com as a reliable website.
Tips for use:
– Use the Drug A-Z index to find a drug. The page for each drug includes audio pronunciation, uses, warnings, usual dosage, side effects, interactions, and FAQs. For some drugs a More about section may have prices, coupons, information in Spanish, advanced information and a link to professional information. For many drugs, Patient Tips adds information that goes beyond standard drug information summaries.
– Read content free of advertisements by viewing it in print preview- click the printer icon on the upper right of an article.

My Med List notes possible drug interactions, drug-condition interactions, allergies and FDA alerts for the medications entered.
