Many ophthalmic and systemic drugs have adverse effects on the eyes. Drugs Database PRO is a unique database of the Ocular Adverse Reactions of virtually all drugs currently available, contained within a simple and intuitive user interface. Here is what the reviewers and users say:

“A must have for all eye care professionals”

“The BNF and MIMS have very little information about the ocular adverse reactions of drugs. Drugs Database PRO plugs the gap.”

“So many of my patients take some form of medication. I can now find out exactly what the medication is for and what the likely effects on the eye may be.

Drugs Database PRO was originally compiled by Professor John Lawrenson and Professor David Thomson (with a lot of help from many others). The database took over 5 years to compile, drawing on information from original data sheets and thousands of published papers. The information is constantly updated so that users can download the very latest information.

The programs is supplied with a 2 year license which includes all updates during this period. The program is currently used by over 2000 eye care professionals worldwide.

FEATURES

Drugs Database PRO is a Windows-based program that contains a unique compilation of information about most of the systemic and ophthalmic drugs currently available in the UK. The program provides instant access to data sheets about each drug, giving details of their usage and a summary of their ocular and relevant general side-effects.

User interface: Intuitive user interface makes it very easy to find a drug - search by partial name, classification or even adverse reaction
 

Data sheets provide all the information you need at a glance. They include legal category, drug classification, tradenames, concentrations, indications use and lists of ocular and general side-effects. The notes indicate the prevalence and severity of the side effects.

The information has been compiled by a team led by Dr John Lawrenson over a 5 year period. It is constantly updated to include new drugs and new reports of adverse reactions. Updates are provided free of charge for two years.
 

Search by partial drug name: Patients cannot always remember the full name of the medication they are taking. The database may be searched by the name or partial name of the drug. Enter "Ta" into the search field and all the drugs beginning with "Ta" will be listed. The search engine also accepts wildcards. For example, enter T?m and all the drugs beginning with "T" with a third letter "m" will be listed
 

Search by manufacturer: Display a list of drugs produced by each manufacturer by selecting it from the list.
 

Outline classification: Use the powerful outline classification control to rapidly find a drug type and identify a trade name.
 

Search by Adverse Reaction: List all the drugs which cause a specific adverse reaction. For example, select corneal deposits and a list of 85 drugs which have been found to be associated with corneal deposits will be listed.
 

Updates: To keep up to date with new drugs and recent reports of adverse reactions, simply click on “Live update”. The program then automatically check our central database for changes and downloads any updates - it is as simple as that!
