I am looking for a website where I can download prescribing information for different drugs. If at all possible I would like them to be in PDF format, so I can easily download/print them. I know that certain drug manufacturers will have this information in PDF format for certain drugs, but most of them are newer brand name drugs, not generic or older drugs.

Any ideas??

Thanks!

I swear by Up To Date. It is expensive though about $500/year. However, my practice pays for it. I have it loaded on "favorites" of my computer and have had no problems.

For the bedside, I use ePocrates Pro which has prescribing info as well. It is a useful tool.

I'll second that. I love Up to Date and use it all the time at work. When I discharge a patient I print medication education sheets from Up to Date and review it with them prior to sending them on their way.:)

You can find a ton of references on the site which are helpful if you are in school and need them for assignments, etc.

I am able to use UpToDate at work, but unfortunately I cant get onto the site from home with the hospital's account.........and I can't afford a subscription right now. I do agree, it is a wonderful site. But I am needing to be able to access sites from home. Any other ideas? Thanks for the response! I do appreciate it!

Have you tried epocrates online or Rxlist? Both of these are very good as well. You must register for Epocrates but is is definietely worth the few minutes it takes to do so.
