Drug search by classification
Subject: Drug search by classification

I'm back in acute care, and until the new Sauder's drug book comes out next month, are there any sites to look up drugs by category? I just want to put in a key word like "antibiotic" and have a list of them pop up. Ideally it would say what they were used for.

Surely there is such a thing as that?
mucocysteine is a drug classification
Subject: mucocysteine is a drug classification

is a mix up of saying Mucomyst and acetylcysteine

100 mg/m2

I would suggest leaving a blank if you cannot document.
