- The International Pharmaceutical Abstracts (IPA) database is the primary source for
drug
information. It provides worldwide coverage of pharmacology, pharmacy and health related literature
from
1970 to the present, and is updated monthly. Produced by Thomson Scientific since 2005 (prior to
that it
was produced by the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists, IPA citations
come from
approximately 750 journals and all U.S. state pharmacy journals. IPA provides comprehensive
information

technology,
utilization, biopharmaceutics, information processing, education, economics, and ethics as
