Monthy Presribing Reference

Another Free Database! I really like this one, it offers a little bit of everything. Although the information doesn't seem to be too in depth, it has several unique features.

For downloading, as I said it's free, and compatible with any windows system so this includes all the PocketPC PDA's as well as many smartphones which we haven't seen yet. Of course it's accessible via the Internet so any system which has a connection could access this website.

You can search and COMPARE 3000 OTC and Rx drug monographs which include indications, dose, contraindications, precautions, interactions, adverse reactions and how supplied, all very concise. Drugs are listed by brand, generic, manufacturer and therapeutic category.

Other resources, besides monographs, include charts which easily depict comparisons of medication or flow diagrams of disease management and is definitely a unique feature of this reference. Their Prescribing Notes are general important therapeutic points for each drug class. These can be accessed by drug class or can be accessed by a link in the monograph of specific medications. Lastly MPR keeps you updated with news bulletins about drug information and new products.

Oh, and if they don't have the answer you need, check out the forums under the "We Got Answers" tab!
