How to use the Search function

Use the Search function to find a specific word or phrase.

1. Enter the term you wish to search for in the box at the top of the screen as:
2. • a single word (e.g. arrow)
   • a phrase enclosed in double quotes (e.g. "aplastic anaemia")
   • several terms combined with logical operators - see advanced searching for more information
3. Click on the Search button or hit Enter.

• To search within specified sections click on the Advanced search button

Notes:

Searching is 'free text' so you can search for any word, but allow for spelling variations.

Analysis of Drugs and Poisons uses International Non-proprietary Names for titles and British English spelling for its editorial content.

You may not always get the result you expect when searching within sections because sections are sometimes combined (for example Adverse Effects and Precautions).
