This series will help you navigate the world of drugs – to save money when you buy them, to talk to your doctor about your treatment options and choices, and to take drugs more safely and wisely. These brief guides present simple and straight–forward explanations, advice, and recommendations.

The series is funded by a public education grant from the National Library of Medicine of the National Institutes of Health. However, neither of those institutions are accountable for the content of the publications or the advice we give.

The publications in this series are not a substitute for a consultation with a medical or health professional. They are meant to promote and enhance communication with your doctors and pharmacists, not replace it.

Our first six guides are listed below. They are available in English and Spanish. They are in PDF format so you'll need Adobe Acrobat software on your computer. Just click on the title to download a guide.

Additional guides will be posted here as we produce them in 2007. So come back and visit again soon.
