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
for drug therapy, toxicity, and pharmacy practice as well as legislation, regulation, technology,
utilization, biopharmaceutics, information processing, education, economics, and ethics as related to
pharmaceutical science and practice. A unique feature of the abstracts included for clinical studies is
the inclusion of the study design, number of patients, dosage, dosage forms and dosage schedule.
