Pharmacy Reference in Spanish

Submitted by fyl on 8 March, 2008 - 14:41.

I tripped on what is like the Physician's Desktop Reference in English today but in Spanish. What I found was from Columbia but it seems to cover typical stuff here. Of particular interest is the ability to look up an ingredient and see what uses it.

Without further ado, see Diccionario de Especialades Farmaceuticas. Armed with decent Spanish knowledge or some translation software, you can do a bit of research on what is really in that stuff the pharmacist gave you and what it will do to you.

Spanish version lacks password protection ?

The reference is to much (but certainly not all) of the data in the PDR. The source is the Spanish version of the PDR and other documents, all from the mega-house of Thomson Publishing. They handle the giant Westlaw dbases, and legal resources from around the world. They also have huge divisions for accounting, financial, scientific research, and of course medicine and health care. I suspect the registration and password protection systems are currently missing from that site in Colombia. While promo data is available free, the English-language version of these sources requires either a personal account, a library subscription with IP-tracking, a medical account via a clinical practice, hospital or research center, or a confirmed medical student account. Unless things have changed recently, for free one cannot see in English what one can apparently see for free in Spanish. I doubt Thomson wants it that way, but that is only a guess. They are not known for giving away pieces of their publishing empire. Anything is possible, but I would not be too surprised if one day account registration is required at the source page.
