This site medicines.org.uk/emc/browse... gives you access to search for information on all your medications and gives you both the Patient and Health Professional information leaflets in return.
Finally, all the info I've posted is published by Datapharm (datapharm.com/) and who modestly declare that "Datapharm runs emc (electronic medicines compendium), the UK’s leading provider of trusted medical information, and provides regulatory and compliance software solutions to the pharmaceutical industry".
And so you can now pass away a few hours finding out what your drug of choice should and should not be doing and be really informed when you next visit your Doctor/Consultant. KNOWLEDGE IS POWER and Enjoy.

Thanks for the info but in what respect does it not work in the US?
Is it a case that you are not allowed access or similar, or is it a case that you have all different drugs and not the likes of Paracetemol & Prednisolone etc?
The reason I ask is that I was chatting to man from the USA last night on another forum and he was delighted with it, as an independent source of information on medicines, as he called it.
I was also advised this morning that not all drug supplier companies in the UK (such as TEVA) are included, but yet the drug Eltroxin (Levothyroxine) for the thyroid still manages to have a page with 33 entries and from 8 different companies dedicated to it.
I'm in the US and it worked fine for me. I had to press the "accept cookies" button then I had access. Maybe your computer is blocking it for some reason.🐇
Thanks for your reply and which is much appreciated. As they say over this side of the world, it's just a case of "you pays your money, and takes your choice", and so when you get it for free etc etc!
You could try the above link it's what physicians and professionals use but it's available to anyone. You don't need to register and it has a downloadable app if you'd want it.
It's definitely for the US meds, not sure about other countries.
🐇😀 The risk vs. benefit is the formula to use when taking any med as they all have side effects and contraindications even OTC meds. It's best to know the facts. I was glad to see your links. The internet is a great source. When I first started working at the hospital all of those meds were listed in a huge hard cover book call PDR (Physician's Desk Reference, now it's updated it's name online) which came out annually. It was approx. 4" thick and there was all the med info, and in the middle there were photos of all the meds so you could see the color and mg for each strength and brand of pill, tablet, liquid, capsule, etc. What a bother that was. But it was a necessary reference for medical staff. Now they look it up on their tablet in 2 seconds!!
Yes indeed, but unfortunately the risk v benefit is often overlooked when unwell! Your mention of PDR is timely in that I had just last evening received a reply on another Forum from the USA about the PDR link which I then sent onto another in the USA. It seems like you, that he always had access to it in a hospital and but for the last few years he had been resorting to AMAZING AMAZON for his information as per amazon.com/2017-Physicians-... .
