Drug Information Centres (4)
*********** 

Dear Pranav,

This is indeed useful information (Maharashtra State Pharmacy Council (MSPC).

Though I would like to add that for responding to queries, it is best to 
depend on standard textbooks, Martindale and Pubmed (particularly for case 
reports and latest development). We had a demonstration of Micromedex for 
our DIC some months back. Just to test its usefulness, we raised a few 
queries which unfortunately it could not answer adequately.

In my view investing in above mentioned sources is a more cost-effective way 
(we have DIC at PGI as an example) than investing in expensive softwares.
