How can you make informed choices about prescription drugs? For one thing, don’t get all your drug information from ads or labels! So, where can you turn?
More Information:
The LA Times recommends that you check out websites such as these:
- Rx Facts, run by the Independent Drug Information Service, which is sponsored by the Pennsylvania Department of Aging and has no ties to any pharmaceutical companies, OR
- Consumer Reports Health, run by Consumer Reports, which also gets no support from pharmaceutical companies.
I also recommend this site:
- Epocrates, a site I use on my iPhone everyday in the clinic. They have an online site that’s available at no charge to you here. Epocrates also gets no support from pharmaceutical companies.
