USP DI^® (File 461) on Dialog Updates Again

Dialog is pleased to be able to report that the latest edition of USP DI® Volume I, Drug Information for the Health Care Profession (File 461) is now available. The file is expected to update regularly at quarterly intervals. It is now produced by Micromedex, a Thomson Healthcare company that licenses the content from USP.

USP DI Volume I provides information about labeled and off-label uses for more than 11,000 generic and brand name drugs dispensed in the U.S. and Canada. Information about existing and new drugs is constantly changing, so it can be difficult to keep track of the latest developments. The database contains fully reviewed, industry-respected drug information to support prescribing and dispensing decisions. In-depth monographs cover dosing, indications, interactions, pharmacology/pharmacokinetics, side/adverse effects, and patient counseling guidelines.

Refer to the Bluesheet for File 461 for further information and guidance on how to search this key source of drug information.
