Pharmaceuticals: Publications and Resources

Summary: Our Prescription Medications and Drug Development database offers an extensive collection of articles focusing on pharmaceutical information, drug interactions, and new developments in the medical field. This database includes publications on a wide range of topics such as the mechanisms of action for medications like Synthroid (levothyroxine), the differences between prescription, over-the-counter, and behind-the-counter drugs, and insights into adverse drug reactions. It also covers emerging trends like the use of medical cannabis for disabled individuals, the impact of generic drug shortages, and the financial aspects of drug pricing, providing a comprehensive resource for understanding both established and cutting-edge pharmaceutical issues.

Searching the Database: The data table below lists items that may have been updated or revised, but the table defaults to sorting by descending publication date; you can search and sort by clicking column headers (JavaScript required).
