What's New in August!

 New! Drug Effectiveness Content:

New partnership with Doctor Evidence provides in context access to drug effectiveness statements for over 500 common diseases and the 300 most-prescribed medications. Findings are based on a thorough analysis of several hundred published clinical studies.Users simply search for a brand name or generic drug topic, select an associated outcome or adverse effect, and view a straightforward sentence summarizing the available evidence. The statements are also organized according to disease, giving users the ability to start from a list of the most common medications prescribed for a given condition and then narrow down to outcomes or adverse effects.
