Searching the Entire Site (Global Search)

The Search on the Control Panel for all monograph and drug product information in Clinical Pharmacology. The results are grouped by monograph and product results.

You can use the SEARCH functionality 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 pharmaceutical manufacturers.

You can do a full or partial search. We suggest you use the "partial four-letter" search. Using four (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 three-letter search. (NOTE: Using a three-letter search only searches the first three letters of a drug, drug product, and so on.)

Searching Within Clinical Pharmacology

For best results, we suggest entering either the entire word or at least four or more letters into the site SEARCH box. Clinical Pharmacology then searches anywhere within the drug names, monograph names, drug class overview names, or other terms.

Example: If you type "amine" the results will include monographs, drugs products, drug class overview names or other terms that include these four letters.

Steps:

1. From the main SEARCH box on the Control Panel, enter either the entire word or a partial string of four or more letters.

2. Click the button (or press the ENTER key on your keyboard). The Search Results page displays.

3. Your results are totaled at the top (e.g., total number of monographs found; total number of US Drug Products found). Use the blue navigation links across the top to jump to specific result sections.
