What is a website to get correct information on prescribed medication?

Does anyone know of a website where I could find correct information on several prescribed medications? I want to careful that it’s legitimate.
I am making a record for my grandparents of what each of their medications do.

If you type in the name of each medication you will get a choice of sites to look at.
You can get complicated explanations as well as the sort of information that is printed on the leaflet in the box of each med.

  2. I like WebMD.com. You can find full details on drugs directly from the manufacturers, there are prescription drug updates and even a pill identifier to confirm the medicine’s dosage and other details. Absolutely legitimate website. Hope this helps!

  3. Try: http://www.rxlist.com/script/main/hp.asp

    Search for the particular drug then click on ‘Consumer’ for patient friendly information.

  4. drugs.com is a good site. It also has tools for you to use to make a list of your grandparents medications along with the medical condition it treats and dose, print out lists (even a special wallet sized version) see about drug interactions, list all medical problems, get any new FDA warnings or recalls on the medications. It is free you just have to sign up. You can even see other people who rank their medications and compare drugs. I use it for both personal medical record keeping and as a source of more professional information.

    And they provide great information in both a very basic way for anyone to understand all the way up the the prescribing information with clinical trial information, pharmacology, and many other advanced aspects most people do not need. All of the information if direct from the government or drugs makers, highly respectable.
