AHFS Drug Information
With the 2009 edition, the American Hospital Formulary Service® (AHFS™) marks over 50 years of continuous publication by the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists (ASHP). Each year, an average of over 60% of AHFS content is revised to help you provide the most accurate recommendations for your patients’ drug therapy.
AHFS references are evidence-based and peer-reviewed, compiled without the influence of manufacturers, insurers, regulators, or other interested parties. No other drug information sources can make this claim.
