http://www.pdatopsoft.com/PalmOS/Th...-Palm-OS-Hi-Res



Did you know that one out of every four prescriptions written is off-label (not yet approved by FDA)? Off-label
prescriptions are completely legal and are a vital alternative for optimal patient care. This application will let
you quickly find information either by illness or medication. The entire guide is divided into three sections. The
first deals with various diseases and disorders. It describes each condition and then provides information about
drugs that may be used off-label to treat it. The entries include the generic and brand names of the drug, its
official use, and a summary of research supporting the off-label uses. Part 2 contains drug profiles with generic
and brand names, on-label and off-label uses, drug class and description, side effects, cautions, drug and food
interactions, and pregnancy and breastfeeding cautions. The final section contains lists of recently approved drugs,
sugar-fee drugs, alcohol-free drugs, sulfite-containing drugs, lactose- and galactose-free drugs, drugs that should
not be crushed, and drugs that may cause photosensitivity.


The application also contains very helpful information for patients with allergies and sensitivities.
