About Us

Who we are
We’re a story that began more than four decades ago.

Since then, we’ve become the leading provider of clinical and descriptive drug knowledge that’s integrated into healthcare information systems around the world. Our knowledge has been tried, tested and trusted by thousands of doctors, pharmacists, nurses, consumers and other decision-makers from every part of the healthcare system. But we’re much more than that.
