the US.

DIFT contains monographs on drugs marketed in the US and some
abbreviated descriptions on investigational injectable drugs. For
each drug you will find trade names, generic name, manufacturer,
therapeutic classification, and CAS registry number and detailed
sections on: chemistry, pharmacology, mechanism of action,
pharmacokinetics, uses, cautions, acute and chronic toxicity, drug
interactions, dosage and administration, preparations and references
