DailyMed is an online database that provides high-quality information about marketed drugs in the United States. It is a service of the National Library of Medicine (NLM), which is part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). DailyMed provides a standard, comprehensive, up-to-date, and reliable source of drug information, including the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved labels (package inserts).
Overview[edit | edit source]
DailyMed was launched to provide a comprehensive resource for healthcare professionals, patients, and the general public to access FDA-approved drug labels. These labels contain detailed information about the drug, including its indications, dosage, contraindications, side effects, and pharmacokinetics.
The database is updated daily to ensure that the information is current and accurate. This is particularly important for healthcare providers who rely on this information to make informed decisions about patient care.
Features[edit | edit source]
DailyMed offers several features that make it a valuable resource:
- Search Functionality: Users can search for drugs by name, active ingredient, or National Drug Code (NDC).
- Drug Label Information: Each drug entry includes the full FDA-approved label, which provides comprehensive information about the drug.
- Downloadable Content: Users can download drug labels in PDF format for offline use.
- RSS Feeds: DailyMed offers RSS feeds that provide updates on new and updated drug labels.
Importance[edit | edit source]
DailyMed plays a crucial role in ensuring that healthcare providers have access to the most current drug information. This is essential for safe prescribing practices and for minimizing the risk of adverse drug reactions.
The availability of this information also empowers patients to be more informed about the medications they are taking, which can lead to better health outcomes.
