Medical information
Medical I information is an excellent tool in any particular medical field. Data can be obtained online or in books. In this age and era, much of this information is purely online. A little reliance on books is required. However, this does not make books obsolete.
Online access to information makes it easier for any medical professional to know the fingertips. There are tons of online references, some of which are accurate and others which give vague information. Misleading information can also be accessed online.

A disadvantage is that it does not provide an application for a mobile phone. Don't use plagiarised sources.Get your custom essay just from $11/page
On the reference source, I came across the initials ‘ADR’. It is a term mostly used during the review of medicine. It stands for adverse drug reactions. The term defines the undesirable adverse events that happen to the body other than the desired effects. They can be severe allergic reactions to the drug.
Drug interaction is another term I picked out from the reference. It means the chemical reaction that can occur when two drugs are administered together, thus one affecting the other.
Bioavailability is the third term that I picked. It means the amount of active drug that will be available in the body after absorption for a full effect of it to take place. It is affected by the dosage form of the medicine.
