 e-CPS has so much more to offer than the big blue book.  While still the top resource for the use and interactions of drugs available in Canada, e-Therapeutics also contains information on illnesses and conditions.  "Therapeutic Choices" presents an overview of the prevention and treatment of medical conditions such as influenza and age-related macular degeneration.  Under the tab "Drug Interactions" is a powerful tool.  LexiComp's Lexi-Interact allows you to type in the name of a drug or natural product and then  brings up a list of products and the the severity of the interactions.

The information in e-CPS is updated every two weeks or more  frequently depending on the urgency of the information.  Health Canada alerts are added to the drug monographs as they are issued. 

All in all a great source of current, Canadian drug information.
