Unique in structure and scope, Gold Standard Drug Database will transform the way your organization uses drug information to drive smarter clinical decisions.
Controlling Prescription Drug Abuse
Pharmacists play a critical role in controlling prescription drug abuse. Not only do they need to understand state and federal laws governing their responsibilities on handling and dispensing controlled substances, they must also take proactive steps to help prevent drug misuse and abuse.
Key Features of the Gold Standard Drug Database
