Free and reliable consumer health information for patients
Beverlee Warren, MA, MS
Authoritative consumer health information from the US National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the National Library of Medicine is available from any Internet-accessible computer. These two government agencies jointly sponsor the website MedlinePlus at MedlinePlus.gov. Launched in 1998, the site's information is updated daily and covers more than 700 diseases and conditions. In addition to these health topics, a section on drugs and supplements gives extensive information on brand-name and generic prescriptions, over-the-counter drugs, herbs, and supplements. MedlinePlus also includes a medical encyclopedia of over 4000 articles, a medical dictionary, health news organized by topic and date, multiple directories, and much more. The website can be toggled to Spanish or back to English with one click of the mouse.
