gardenergirl: I use the software "Epocrates", a drug reference database, on my pda. http://www.epocrates.com/ It's very handy, is cross-validated via multiple sources, and is updated at least daily.

Whoa, that is a handy little tool! Medication wasn't part of my experience so I have very little background in that area. Many others I've spoken with however, have identified medication as being personally helpful to them. I'm all for people making use of the tools they find personally beneficial but I'm also very much in favor of informed consent and when it comes to medications, side effects, interactions and the like, a tool like Epocrates can be very helpful. I think a link deserves to be added to the recommended links section. Thank you for sharing it in this space.
