First paragraph (this article has no abstract)

The database is taken from the US Pharmacopeia, and provides information on more than 10,000 prescription and 'over the counter' drugs. The database provides the reader with a wealth of information on the drug they are interested in. This consists of a detailed description of the drug, including: things to note before taking/administering the drug (eg drugs that should not be taken in combination, whether it's safe to breast feed/to take when pregnant, other medical problems that may affect the effectiveness of the drug); dosage advice; and side effects.
