  • Diseases

    • adam.com Encyclopedia Disease Reference
      17 April 2000.  The National Library of Medicine offers the popular adam.com medical encyclopedia at its MEDLINEplus site.  No search feature exists.  Researchers first must select from top-level categories: disease, injury, nutrition, poison, special, surgery, symptoms, and test.  Then browse an alphabetical index to select a topic.

      Entries incorporate adam.com data only.   Researchers will not find links to MEDLINE and other important references like they do at the major MEDLINEplus site.  Still, it's useful content for those seeking basic medical information.

      18 May 2000. This recent addition to MEDLINEplus, the National Library of Medicine's compilation of research guides on medical conditions and diseases, offers general information about approximately 9,000 prescription and over-the-counter drugs. Find a drug by its generic or brand name. Use the index; the site does not offer a search feature.

    • Drug Information from webMD.com (U.S. Pharmacopeia Drug Information database)

    • Drug Information - a tad odd web site with information regarding prescription and over the counter drugs and some of the psychotic effects of drugs.  Contains some decent links to other drug/pharmacological sites.

    • DRUGSEARCH: the on-line drug encyclopedia
      DrugScope, a leading United Kingdom provider of information about drugs, offers this Web site devoted to teaching about illegal or street drugs.  Visitors may browse the encyclopedia by drug name although indexing appears inconsistent.  For example, researchers will find cannabis indexed by most of its street terms, but the same is not true of cocaine, which the reference indexes only by "cocaine" or "crack." Also, the search feature did not work on the day I visited the site.

    • RXList -- The Internet Drug List
      This site offers information about prescription drugs.  No where near the equivalent of Physician's Desk Reference (PDR).
