Authoritative drug information is now even easier to access with the addition of electronic Medicines Compendium (eMC) data to the GP section of Searchmedica.co.uk.

Now when you search for information on a drug, using its brand or generic name, a direct link will appear above the main search results, taking you straight to the relevant information on the eMC website, which includes patient information leaflets and summaries of product characteristics.

Lisa Taylor, digital director of SearchMedica UK, said: 'This is a great addition to the information already available through Searchmedica.co.uk and it enables our users to get all the information they need from multiple, authoritative sources in one search.'
