FDA Drug Info Rounds

Drug Info RoundsWelcome to Drug Info Rounds, a series of training videos for practicing clinical and community pharmacists. Drug Info Rounds is brought to you by pharmacists in the FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER), Office of Communications (OCOMM), Division of Drug Information (DDI). Pharmacists in DDI answer hundreds of questions everyday about drug products and FDA actions.  Our goal is to provide important and timely drug information to pharmacists so they can help patients make better medication decisions.
