2005 Physicians' Desk
Reference
by Medical Economics, Physicians
The Authoritative Source of FDA-Approved Information
on Prescription Drugs.
Physicians have turned to PDR® for the latest word
on prescription drugs for 59 years! Today, PDR is
considered the standard prescription drug reference
and can be found in virtually every physician's
office, hospital and pharmacy in the United States.
In fact, nine out of ten doctors consider PDR their
most important reference source. The 59th edition is
more than 3,000 pages—our most comprehensive edition
ever!
The 2005 PDR also includes important information on
how authorized prescribers (including U.S.-based
MDs, DOs, Dentists, NPs, PAs, Nurse Midwives, Nurse
Anesthetists, and Clinical Nurse Specialists in
full-time patient practice and medical students and
residents) can access:
- mobilePDR, PDR's abbreviated drug information
database for PDR applications
- drug information on PDR.net
Due to the importance of having current drug
information, the PDR Electronic Library has a two
year useful life. The software and data on this CD
will expire on 12/31/06.
