Pharmacology Index
This is an index to a (developing) Online Pharmacology text. This is at a very very early stage so this is not yet a lot of information here but it will grow with time. Please contribute as you can. This can be a particularly useful way to help you with your study because for everything you contribute you have to check your facts and you will find that you remember the information much more than just reading it in a book.
TEMPLATES: The individual drug monographs are based on a Template to ensure complete and consistent information. Please use this template if you would like to start a new drug page (Just cut & paste from here).
CAUTION: The drug information included on this site is provided for educational purposes ONLY and should NOT be used for making therapeutic or diagnostic decisions. This is particularly important for people who do not have a medical background. Also, as this is a Wiki, the information on this site could be altered by anyone with Internet access and could be dangerously wrong.
