Hi All, A free service is provided by the site, Agenet - you can sign up and receive updates on the following diseases: Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, Diabetes, etc I did not do a "slime" test on the site, its content or intent. I feel that all information can be useful -- Surf and learn! http://www.agenet.com/drug_formulary.html The AgeNet Geriatric Drug Review provides a review of the prescription drugs most commonly used by older adults, organized by major diagnostic categories. The purpose of the review is to provide information to individuals and health care professionals to increase their knowledge of medications available and the benefits they provide within specific diagnostic groups most commonly affiliated with older adults. This information was compiled by a Registered Pharmacist who is a Certified Diabetes Educator and is intended to reflect a viewpoint based on his experiences. Although it is not intended to be an exhaustive list, every attempt has been made to include the drugs the pharmacist feels are the most commonly used in each diagnostic group . Drugs are listed as preferred, acceptable, non-preferred and excluded agents with an explanation. The preferred medications are considered the safest to use by older adults, offer significant benefits in managing the condition while considering cost. The conclusions that are drawn are solely the opinion of the pharmacist, do not constitute medical advice, and are not intended as directions related to an individual's medical treatment. If you have questions related to medications prescribed to you, consult a physician. · Alzheimer's Drug Review (Alzhemier's Drug Search) · Diabetes Drug Review (Diabetes Drug Search) · Parkinson's Disease Drug Review (Parkinson's Drug Search) You can also search for individual drugs by name using our Geriatric Drug Search search engine. However, the results of the search will also include web pages on our site where the drug name is included in articles. ******************************************************************* Today’s donations for PRO-Seed Grants lead to a PD free tomorrow! ******************************************************************* Parkinson Alliance Margaret Tuchman 1250 24th Street, NW [log in to unmask] Suite 300 Princeton, NJ Washington, DC 20037 609.921.1696
