About
DRUGDOCS® provides health professionals with current, evidence-based information on the drugs they prescribe with direct access to publications.
This information has been collected using an independent, comprehensive and non-biased literature search strategy.
For each drug, a literature search is conducted to find systematic reviews, meta-analyses, or randomized controlled trials. In addition, access to product monographs and evidence-based clinical practice guidelines is provided when available. Drug information on the DRUGDOCS® database is updated regularly.
