Organized alphabetically by generic drug name, the CPDR lists for each entry selected essential data such as common uses; mechanism of action; dosage (adult and, where applicable, pediatric); cautions; contraindications, formulations, and common side effects. It also provides a list of the medications organized by drug classification.
