Finding Prescription Drug Information Online

When you or someone in your household is prescribed medication, you may have all kinds of questions about what it is used for, how it works, proper usage, how it interacts with other drugs, how addictive it is, what to do in the event of accidental ingestion or overdose, and more. While much of this information is included in the literature provided by the pharmacy, and your pharmacist can provide you with additional information and answer many of your questions, you can also refer to the repository of online information provided by the prescription drug information portal on the healthdirect website.

This prescription drug information portal is a valuable resource that allows you to search for information about drugs by brand name or by category. With this resource, you can read summaries about approved usage and efficacy of a drug, including information on formulations, dosages, and counterindications.
