British National Formulary (BNF) Product Details:

Over the last year, we have undertaken research to understand how we could ensure that specialist drug content in BNF Publications is aligned with the stated scope within the preface, and with the primary use case of the BNF. Analytics around the use of BNF Publications’ content confirmed that specialist drug content is accessed much less frequently than drug content for non-specialist use. User research supported the analytics, and showed that those users who did access specialist content were most commonly looking at safety information, such as contra-indications, interactions, and side-effects. Pharmaceutical Excipients: Properties, Functionality and Applications in Research and Industry (2017) A British National Formulary (BNF) is a medical and pharmaceutical publication that contains information and advice on prescribing and pharmacology, along with specific facts and details about all medicines available on the NHS.
