Physicians have turned to PDR for the latest word on prescription drugs for over 60 years.

Today, PDR is considered the standard prescription drug reference and can be found in virtually every physician's office, hospital and pharmacy in the United States. In fact, nine out of ten doctors consider PDR their most important reference source. You'll find the most complete data on over 4,000 drugs by brand and generic name (both in the same convenient index), manufacturer, and product category. Your PDR provides usage information and warnings, drug interactions, plus more than 2,000 full-size, full-color photos cross-referenced to the product information. In this PDR, you will also find:

  • Phonetic spelling for most listings
  • A key to controlled substances
  • FDA use-in-pregnancy ratings
  • Contraindications
  • Dosages
  • Clinical pharmacology
  • Adverse reactions
  • Pediatric use
  • All other FDA-required information

On average, over 70% of the drugs found in PDR have prescribing information that has been updated from that found in the previous years' edition. This means that each year thousands of changes are made to drugs. Among these changes are:

  • Interactions with other drugs
  • Side Effects
  • Recommended Dosages
  • Contraindications
  • Black box warnings
  • How supplied methods

The latest, most accurate prescription drugs data - always at your fingertips. The PDR guarantees you the security of having up-to-the-minute FDA-approved information on over 4,000 prescription drugs and important data on more than 250 drug manufacturers.

About the PDR Electronic Library on these CD-ROMs: A CD-ROM comes with each of the products described above. The PDR on CD-ROM is easy to use. Just enter the first few letters of a drug name, and the data is on your screen. The information appears word-for-word from PDR, including chemical structures, illustrations, and full-color pill images. The PDR Electronic Library contains over 9,000 pages of today’s most trusted medical references:

  • the full text of the PDR,
  • full text of PDR for Nonprescription Drugs, Dietary Supplements & Herbs,
  • full text of PDR for Ophthalmic Medicines and
  • full text of PDR Guide to Drug Interactions, Side Effects and Indications.

Quickly look up prescribing information six different ways: by brand name, generic name, manufacturer, therapeutic category, indication or side effect. Plus, the Drug Interactions and Side Effects module alerts you to potential problems in even the most complex regimen. The CD is available for Windows only. Equipment required: IBM PC compatible computer, MS Windows 95 or higher, 8 MB RAM, VGA Color Monitor, Double Speed CD-ROM drive, 10MB available on hard drive.
