Enhanced Online Medical Forum Provides Greater Prescription Drug Support
Americans taking prescription drugs can now turn to enhanced online medical forum prescriptiondrug-info.com for valuable support and information concerning doctor-recommended medication.
Westlake Village, CA (PRWEB) January 5, 2009 -- Newly streamlined Internet medical forum PrescriptionDrug-Info.com provides even more support to prescription drug patients through their easier-to-use website. The enhanced online community now allows users to contribute their personal stories to the site, while an improved search algorithm makes searching by topic more precise and convenient.
PrescriptionDrug-Info.com - The People's Medicine Community
As of 2007, 51 percent of insured Americans were taking a prescription drug to treat at least one chronic health problem (1). And because the number of Americans taking prescription drugs had steadily increased, patient awareness becomes increasingly more important.
PrescriptionDrug-Info.com, The People's Medicine Community™, is a comprehensive online community designed to link patients, care-givers, and others. Users can lend their knowledge with prescription drugs, share their personal experiences, as well as gain support from individuals who have taken or are taking the same medication. Patients who experience adverse side effects when taking medication can also turn to PrescriptionDrug-Info.com for alternative views. Although it is imperative to follow doctors' guidelines while on a prescription drug regimen, many patients seek external references to validate their experiences with medication and to learn more.
Improvements to the PrescriptionDrug-Info.com have made the online medical forum's collection of prescription drug knowledge more accessible and easy to find, according to Nick Jabbour, PrescriptionDrug-Info.com's leading designer.
"We had to determine the best way for people to both find what they need and be able to talk within the community," he said. "We also needed to ensure that we operate within the Health On the Net Foundation's principles, as we were recently up for recertification. Overall, I feel very pleased with the results. We were able to retain the fundamentals of the original version of the site while greatly improving the usability and community aspects for everyone."
