Each monograph begins with the generic name of the drug. The most common trade names are provided under the Trade section. With some pharmaceuticals, there may be more than one drug added to the product. In this case we have added a table called “Combination Drugs” in the appendix where all the drugs present in that specific pharmaceutical are listed and you can then look up the individual products.
Other Trades:
This resource is used throughout the world. Thus, many other trade names from countries outside the United States are now included in this section.
Category:
This lists the class or “family of drugs” that the medication belongs to and gives a general idea of the pharmacology, mechanism of action, and probable use of the drug.
Drug Monograph:
The drug monograph lists what we currently understand about the drug, its ability to enter milk, the concentration in milk at set time intervals, and other parameters that are important to a clinical consultant. We have attempted at great length to report only what the references have documented.
