Elsevier Science launches mobile resource for drug information

Elsevier Science is launching a new mobile-optimised online resource designed to provide healthcare professionals with drug information.

The medical information company’s new Clinical Pharmacology Mobile site is a new version of its award-winning Clinical Pharmacology resource, designed for common devices such as BlackBerry and iPhone.

It enables users to access the features and functions available through the main site in a more convenient way, searching databases by treatment names, indications, classifications or potential risks.

Kathy Vieson, vice president and director of clinical drug references for Gold Standard/Elsevier, stated that this service has been introduced to meet a growing professional need.

She added: “Clinical Pharmacology Mobile provides healthcare professionals and students with reliable, need-to-know drug information when and where they need it.”

Last month, the company introduced a number of new electronic resources for use by medical students, including the 3D virtual anatomy program InteractElsevier.
