A pharmaceutical reference providing readers with access to the correct spelling and capitalization of drug names, their primary designated uses, and usual methods of administration.

It also identifies drug classes, including: quinolones, a class of antibiotics; lazeroids, a class of free-radical scavengers; and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, a class of antidepressants/antipsychotics.
