Excerpt
Drug information centres The time is decisively past when busy practising doctors could expect to prescribe simply on the basis of experience and memory alone. It is reassuring that some highly developed national health administrations are still able to issue formularies that slip easily into the pocket of a white coat. But occasions inevitably arise when a clinician is confronted with a need for specific drug-related information that is not readily accessible in order to resolve a pressing clinical problem. To respond to this need, some of the larger hospital ~harmaciesin North America and Europe started some 30 years ago to organize themseives as centres of technical information (1-4). A recent survey of independent drug information centres within Europe (5) shows that it is not unusual for well-established hospital centres to deal with some 10 to 20 specific inquiries each day. Some have developed teaching commitments, others issue drug bulletins, and many offer a vital resource to institutional drug and therapeutics committees.
