from The Annals of Pharmacotherapy

The Annals of Pharmacotherapy is now providing a service to help consumers, patients, and their caregivers understand the content of current medical articles published in this journal.  Summaries of articles are presented in a brief, easy-to-understand question-and-answer format with explanations pertaining to a drug’s purpose and use, how the study was conducted, and the author’s conclusions or recommendations. References to the complete article are provided.

These article summaries are intended to help patients understand the latest research developments and clinical information that may relate to their prescribed medications. It is clearly stated that the summaries are for informational purposes only, and should be used as an opportunity to promote discussions with their healthcare providers.

View current  "For Our Patient" summaries, as well as all available summaries at <www.forourpatients.info> or <www.theannals.com>. You may also search summaries by topic. 

Although the service was developed for the layperson, it also will be useful to non-healthcare professionals, educators, or healthcare providers who are responsible for patient education.
