New Resource from uCentral

The suite of clinical resources available from the library through uCentral now includes Drug Interactions from The Medical Letter. Drug Interactions offers a quick guide to interactions between drugs and suggests precautionary measures.

Interactions can be searched by generic or brand name; brand names for combination products are not always listed. Reports of interactions between more than two drugs have begun to appear in the medical literature; where these have been documented, they are noted in the discussion section.

The following information is included for interacting drugs:

• the main effect(s)
• clinical significance of the interaction,
• management recommendations,
• mechanism of the interaction,
• discussion of clinical and research data related to the interaction,
• description of how similar drugs may or may not interact,
• list of supporting references.

uCentral provides cross-links that take you from one resource to related content on another. For example, drug information in Davis’s Drug Guide or the Johns Hopkins ABX Guide, is cross-linked to related information in Drug Interactions.

uCentral is available on the web and as a mobile app.
