This special section from the U.S. National Library of Medicine's MedlinePlus website provides information about drugs, herbs, and supplements, including detailed material on prescription drugs and over-the-counter medicines. The site is divided into basic sections, one for drugs and one for herbs and supplements. Each section is organized alphabetically. For instance, selecting "A" under Drugs calls up A-200, the lice-killing shampoo, the atypical antipsychotic, Abilify, and dozens of others. Meanwhile, selecting "F" under Herbs and Supplements calls up Fenugreek, Feverfew, and others. Selecting any item opens to an information page, for example, the Fenugreek record notes, "a few small studies have found that fenugreek may help lower blood sugar levels in people with diabetes."
