I have become familiar with several resources the and one of them is the Merck Manual. The Merck is a huge drug resource for health professionals, and it provides lots of information. The Merck Manual online is free and; it is also available for PDA download for $49. Merck Manual Online is divided by sections (disease), index (drugs), and symptoms. It gives you the etiology, evaluation, history, physical examination, testing, and treatment along with vivid color pictures if available of the disease. Today, I was at work and one the pharmacist was looking for treatments of diverticulitis and she could not find ciprofloxacin in the resource she was looking at, but sure enough it was listed in Merck. Merck is a huge company created by health professional for health professionals. Overall this drug resource information is pretty handy, and if you don't believe me check it out for yourself at:

The following website is for their home page but if you go to the prescribing information and pick a drug it will give the information, but just a note I believe these are only Merck products.
