Site Search Clinical Pharmacology Help
The Search on the Control Panel searches for all drug and drug product information in Clinical Pharmacology. The results are grouped by monograph and product results. If you search on a brand name, you will not see monograph results as most monographs are not named as the brand name. Similarly if a generic name is typed in, no products may appear if generics are not available.
You can use the Search to find monographs, products, global drug names, adverse reactions, and drug class overviews information, as well as, searching terms used for indications, contraindication/precautions, adverse reactions and manufacturers.
You can do a full or partial search. We suggest you use the "partial 4-letter" search. Using 4 letters or more in the search, often finds more useful results and a better response time from Clinical Pharmacology. You can; however, do a 3-letter search. Please note, using a 3-letter search only searches the first three letters of a drug, drug product, and so on.
|
Partial Search using 4 letters or more (Searches anywhere in the search results that 'contains' the four or more letters.) |
Partial Site Search using 3 letters or more (Searches only the first three letters in a word in the search results.) |
Phonetic Search of monographs and products is available if your initial search does not provide the desired results. |
You may want to do a 4 (four) or more letters search from the site search box because it searches anywhere within the drug name. For example, if you type "amine" it finds the four letters anywhere inside your results.
From the main Search box enter a partial string of 4 or more letters.
If a generic name is used, no products may appear if generics are not available.

The phonetic search of monographs and products is available at the top of all results from other sections.
If you select a monograph or US Drug Product, you will be taking to a landing/navigation page that will allow you to view any section of the related monograph, begin a report, view MedCounselor sheets, or select products for more detailed information.
Options presented under ”r;Begin a Report”, View MedCounselor Sheet(s)”, and ”r;View Products” will vary slightly depending on whether a monograph or US drug product is selected from the search results

If an Indication, Contraindications, or Adverse Reaction result is selected, a search for all monographs associated with the specific term will be done, similar to a Find By Indication, Contraindication/Precaution, or Adverse Reaction searches from the Find/List menu.
Overview links will take you directly to the specified Drug Class Overview.

Manufacturer search results will allow you to either view a list of all the products associated with that manufacturer or view the manufacturer contact information.
