Subject: on a quick search, it seems Atar refers to a drug RX

can't be certain, but that does fit the context of the sentence. "if the patient doesn't have *a prescription drug supplement coverage plan*"

cozar, hydrocortothisod, nervask, topolol, pravocol, aresapainia


 


I think you might consider Cozaar, hydrocortisone, Norvasc, Toprol (or is the dictator saying metoprolol), Pravachol, Aranesp.


The Quick Look Drug Book I found to be the best when all I had were books to look up things.  You can try www.rx.com and www.drugs.com or www.medilexicon.com


Good luck!!!

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?
