Physicians' Desk Reference (PDR®) is published in cooperation with participating manufacturers. Each full-length entry provides you with an exact copy of the product's FDA-approved labeling. Under the federal Food, Drug and Cosmetics (FD&C) Act, a drug approved for marketing may be labeled, promoted, and advertised by the manufacturer for only those uses for which the drug's safety and effectiveness have been established.

The Physicians' Desk Reference® is unquestionably the healthcare community's most fundamental pharmaceutical reference - an indispensable source of in-depth data on efficacy, potential adverse effects, clinical pharmacology, and proper use of thousands of prescription medications. PDR is considered the standard prescription drug reference and can be found in virtually every physician's office, hospital, and pharmacy in the United States.

PDR for Nonprescription Drugs and Dietary Supplements™ offers full FDA-approved descriptions of the most commonly used over-the-counter (OTC) medicines, and includes in-depth data on ingredients, indications, and drug interactions. The PDR for Nonprescription Drugs and Dietary Supplements™ also contains manufacturer's descriptions of a variety of natural remedies and nutritional supplements marketed under the Dietary Supplement and Education Act of 1994.

PDR for Ophthalmic Medicines™ is the ophthalmic profession's premier source of FDA-approved information on ophthalmological pharmaceuticals. The definitive reference, with accurate, up-to-date information specifically for the eye-care professional.

 

Herbal Medicines

Available as a subscription add-on, PDR® for Herbal Medicines™ is the most comprehensive reference of its kind. It is based on the work conducted by the German Federal Health Authority's Commission E, the governmental body widely recognized as having done the most authoritative evaluation of herbs for medicinal use. PDR for Herbal Medicines contains even more information, including hundreds of herbs not reviewed by Commission E and detailed references in support of the findings.
