In April we are featuring the Natural Medicines Comprehensive Database.
Affinity’s newest database offering, this resource was suggested by medical and nursing staff and provides high quality information for professional staff and patients.
- Objective and thorough enough for medical professionals yet presented in a way that is accessible to patients.
- Search for information on various natural medicines, including effectiveness, individual ingredients (sugh as Ginkgo Biloba extract), and drug interactions.
- The database provides information about how the various sections are created and describes the criteria used to rate each product's safety and effectiveness.
- Researchers update the database daily, so the information is current.
- For those who wish to see the studies cited in the articles, direct links to the study abstracts are provided.
Access the National Medicines Comprehensive Database via the Library webpage. It is listed alphabetically on the right under the “Most Popular Links” heading. Please be sure to logout when you are finished.
