Recommended Websites for More Information On Prescribed Drugs
I recommend only those sites that provide unbiased drug information for consumers. Many websites provide drug information, but also do it for the purposes of encouraging the consumer to purchase medications on-line.
The National Library of Medicine and National Institutes of Health: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/druginformation.html
(Both español and English versions)
The Mayo Clinic:

The Herbal Research Foundation supports a website with comprehensive information about herbs and herbal supplements:
The United States Food and Drug Administration Websites for consumer education and information.
“Consumer Education: What You Should Know About Buying and Using Drug Products”:
FDA is committed to providing consumers with information on prescription, generic, and over-the-counter drug products. The Center for Drug Evaluation and Research has developed numerous public service campaigns and announcements to help you make informed decisions about using medicines.
