It would give every health care professional in the state a sense of pride to know that Lord Shiva College of Pharmacy has set up a Drug Information Centre (DIC) in assistance with WHO-KSPC. The centre is registered with IRDIS, an International Register of Drug Information Services. The aim of DIC is to help all health care professionals & general public in getting in-depth and focused drug information and it would also help in monitoring and reporting adverse drug reactions (ADRs). The objective of DIC is to promote the concept of rational drug use to enhance better patient outcome. With rapid advancement in medical and biological science, huge information about drugs & diseases has emerged out. Access & authenticity of this vast information being limited, rational use of drugs has been more complex. The conventional method of obtaining drug Information is through the medical representatives & product literature provided by the manufacturers, which may be incomplete or biased. Our Centre is first Drug Information Centre in Haryana State and probably the first one in North Zone of our country. DIC would also serve to the poor people, to bring down the burden of health problem on our society through continuous education. Our DIC would also be assisting doctors & hospital pharmacists in updating on new drugs emerging at international level, in different therapeutic areas.

DIC welcomes the queries on: (FREE SERVICE)

Drug Information Centre has started a series of lectures to promote the concept of rational drug use among health care professionals.
