An independent, evidence-based, national drug reference, the Australian Medicines Handbook is an important clinical resource for health practitioners concerned with the quality use of medicines.

  • Therapeutic information documents clearly summarise evidence and clinical practice for some diseases to give context for drug treatment.
  • Class statements provide common and comparative information on drugs of the same class or family. 
  • Substantial drug interactions section contains useful advice for clinicians on managing specific interactions. 
  • Individual drug monographs with succinct descriptions of mode of action, indications and precautions, adverse effects, brand names and products, PBS information and off-label uses, patient counselling and practice points, among other things.
