Features of DictionaryIncludes comprehensive list of generic drugs in the classes listed.Generic Index, and Brand Index to pages. Major Brand names in Australia, USA and UK are given, plus some from other countries. Names from other countries are generally not given if the same Brand names appear in the first three columns. Links are mainly from the generic drug name. CaveatsList of Brand names is extensive but not exhaustive.Minor details such as OTC availability are sometimes generalisations and may be incorrect for any specific State/Province etc. The dictionary currently links Brand names with generics often without indicating form of drug (tablet, injection, etc. or Immediate/ Slow Release). So Brand X in US correlating with brand Y in UK merely indicate that they are the same generic drug, without suggesting that the pharmacokinetics, etc. are the same. Appendices to Brand names such as SR, CD, often refer to a modified onset of action, extended release etc. compared to the base form. I've flagged some, but not all, of these differences. Any corrections, suggestions and comments will be gratefully received. |
