Drug Information Fulltext is a tested and proven source of comparative, unbiased, and evaluative drug information containing a monograph on virtually every molecular drug entity available in the US.

Drug Information Fulltext (DIFT) contains the complete text of roughly 2,000 evaluative monographs covering about 110,000 commercially available and experimental drugs in the United States. DIFT consists of 2 separate products, AHFS Drug Information 2005 and the Handbook of Injectable Drugs.

First published in 1959, AHFS Drug Information, or the "Big Red Book," as it's come to be known, has gone the extra mile for pharmacists and healthcare professionals seeking answers to the most detailed questions. It provides more extensive evidence-based data than any other drug reference. AHFS DI is also free from the influence of manufacturers, insurers, regulators, and other special interests, giving you an unbiased source of drug information. AHFS DI covers such topics as:

-The latest commentary on a wide array of FDA-approved uses and comprehensive coverage of unlabeled uses.
-Exhaustive analysis of drug interactions, cautions, and toxicity.
-Detailed information on dosage and methods of administration.
-Thorough examination of well-established laboratory and test inferences.
-Rigorous investigation of chemistry and stability.
-Scientific coverage of pharmacology and pharmacokinetics.
-Complete lists of commonly available prescription, OTC, ophthalmic, and dermatologic drugs, in addition to vitamins and parenteral nutrition products.
-Over 70,000 uniquely cited references.

In addition to its versatility, the AHFS database is the most current of the leading drug references. The average age of our monographs is less than one year. Written and published by pharmacists and reviewed by over 500 experts, AHFS DI is a unique and invaluable reference for all healthcare professionals.

The second crucial part of Drug Information Fulltext is the Handbook on Injectable Drugs. The precise stability and compatibility information provided by the Handbook on Injectable Drugs enables healthcare professionals to ensure the accurate and appropriate delivery of drug therapy. By arranging this critical injectable drug information in a single, reliable source with easy-to-read tables, healthcare professionals can provide patients with safer and more effective medication therapy. The Handbook on Injectable Drugs includes:

-Over 360 drug monographs, including 47 non-U.S. drugs.
-29 drugs new to the 13th Edition, including 6 non-U.S. drugs
-Drugs listed alphabetically by generic name for efficient searching; brand names also listed.
-AHFS classification numbers for each drug conveniently refer users to in-depth therapeutic data in AHFS Drug Information.
-Contains tabulated results from primary research on the compatibility of the listed drug with infusion solutions and other drugs. Four compatibility tables are provided for each drug: solution, additive, syringe, and Y-site.
-Discusses storage requirements and general stability information, including pH, freezing, exposure to light, sorption and filtration characteristics, and repackaging information.
-Provides key product data including common sizes, strengths, volumes, and forms in which the drug is supplied. Also includes pH, osmotic value, and other important product information.
