Gaut, which perspective are you looking at this from ?
I wonder so I can put your statements in context. > Getting hold of drug lists should not pose much of a problem. It all > depends on your requirements. It also depends on the amount of money you are willing to spend. Try it if it's not such a big problem. I'd be delighted if you come up with something useful for reasonably little money. > You can go to ... > ... a drug wholesaler, or you could go to a local pharmacy. Except that I'd probably get into legal trouble for this. > But the needs: For a prescriber it is necessary with tablet strengths, > package sizes, and maybe prices.

While it may be correct that no single prescriber ever utilizes the entire drug list it is an error to assume that they don't _need_ it. After all I must choose my range from somewhere. And I need drug information on any random drug people walk in with. > And besides, a complete list needs continuous updating. An incomplete list also needs continuous updates albeit at a lower level of frequency. > and choose.

I am not sure I understand this suggestion. I would be very indebted if you could enlighten me. Thanks !
