I recently stumbled onto this cool little program, which allows you to look up drug information VERY quickly from your PC.
It loads up very quickly when you double-click the desktop icon, but I leave it running in the background as it doesn't seem to slow down AC while it is running.
You bring it up, click on the Index tab and start typing the drug name and the information just *flies* onto the screen. I think it is the fastest way to look up drug info I have found. I am not using my Tarascon Pharmacopoiea in the clinic anymore!
