FDA's new online "PDR-ish" database

You can find it by going to the link below. What is a nifty feature - if it works - is that label changes will be added to this site within 24 hours of changes being made.

Go here for more information.

According to the FDA announcement:

"These new electronic product labels will be the key element and primary source of medication information for "DailyMed" -- a new interagency online health information clearinghouse that will provide the most up-to-date medication information free to consumers, healthcare providers and healthcare information providers. This information can be accessed through the National Library of Medicine at http://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov.

In the future, this new product information will also be provided through facts@fda.gov, a comprehensive internet resource designed to give one-stop access for information about all FDA-regulated products."
