Question about Drug Cards

Hello:

I have never before used drug cards but I am seriously considering starting to use them. What information do you put on the drug card? Trade name, generic name, side effects and normal dosage or more information? Thank you in advance.

I'll admit I cheated - I bought a already made flash card box at barnes and nobles for drugs. The box even came with some blank cards to add your own if you wanted to.

I want to say that there is more... but that's all I can recall at this time.

Can you share the name of this set? I'd like to consider it for my own education.
