Patients and health care providers often search the internet for health information -- for information on medical conditions, on treatments, and on medications. Identifying reliable sources of knowledge is important, but finding good sources is sometimes difficult. Last week, I wrote about one new source of health information: the drug information portal at the National Library of Medicine. This week, I''ll discuss Healthline's new drug search tool.
To recap: the National Library of Medicine's drug information portal provides a wealth of information, but the NLM's website site is aimed primarily at at health care providers. In contrast, Healthline's drug seach tool is directed at consumers.
Three novel services are offered: drug information and comparisons, drug identification, and drug interactions.
