# Physicians' Desk Reference (PDR) is a commercially published compilation of manufacturers' prescribing information (package insert) on prescription drugs, updated annually.

While designed to provide physicians with the full legally mandated information relevant to writing prescriptions , it is widely available in libraries and bookstores, widely used by other medical specialists, and sometimes valuable to the layman. The compilation is financially supported in part by pharmaceutical manufacturing corporations which create drugs listed within its pages. The 71st Edition, published in 2017, was the final hardcover edition. It weighed in at 4.6 pounds and contained information on over 1,000 drugs.[1] Since then, the PDR is available online for free, and has been integrated into some electronic health record (EHR) systems. PDR.net also links to a free mobile app.

PDR material contained includes:

Comprehensive indexing (four sections)

by Manufacturer

Products (by company's or trademarked drug name)

Category index (for example, "antibiotics")

Generic/chemical index (non-trademark common drug names)

Color images of medications

Product information, consistent with FDA labeling

Chemical information

Function/action

Indications & Contraindications

Trial research, side effects, warnings
