> Yeah, that's pretty much what the PDR is -- these days full PIs (prescribing information) are online for pickyournewdrugandfillintheblanks.com for an extended period of time until they stop marketing or the patent runs out.

The PDR also has, for a select group of currently marketed drugs, a photo for each medication.Right you are. I had access to the yearly copy of the cd they produce and found it so useless that I couldn't even bother to pirate it anymore. There was vere little on psyc meds, mostly pictures of OTC meds.
